Thanks Chris!
Finally, a definitive answer to, "Why don't you ever hear about climbing in the Grand Canyon?"

What a dream trip. Sandstone, climbing, the river, the solitude, exploring, someone cooking great grub for you every night. Doesn't get much better than that.

Great TR, thanks!
Ummm.... did the river guide in the NBC video clip say that the granite in the Canyon is from a Billion years ago? What? Is that right?

It will be my 7th trip and her 5th, and most of those trips had climbing in them too. You got me jazzed!

C-Mac,
I'm a former Grand guide. I shared this link with a few other guides both climbers and not. The responses from all of us were "I've done that problem", "I've looked at that line", but mostly, "I don't give a f*#k who they are we would not be camping in the rocks at Grapevine"
Great job,
Prod.

Sounds like it was an awesome trip. We always wanted to do the canyon with a group of climbers.
Nurse Ratchet and I did some climbing in the lower half of the canyon a few years ago. This was at Parshant camp.
(and that roof above me does go at only about 5.8!)

Sounds like there was BASE jumping (and a fine) too... Any details on the jump? Was this in a wingsuit?
Excerpt:
According to information from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Phoenix, Christopher C. McNamara, 30, of Marin County, Calif., pleaded guilty to illegally jumping in the Canyon while on a November 2007 river trip. The practice is known as BASE jumping, which stands for jumping from fixed objects such as buildings, antennas, spans or earth with a parachute.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Mark E. Aspey ordered McNamara to pay a $5,000 fine to be dedicated to protection resource monitoring in the Canyon. McNamara must also serve one year of probation and may only enter Yosemite National Park because of the civic work he does there.
