carried the big bags out to the special spot recently. had a wild wild proud lead replete with big-boy runouts, excellent clean dimpled wingate face moves, and complete chossarooni for gear when you could find it. 5/20/16, Grade I. Grade V if approach included.

It took me a hell of a long time to figure out if you were in the Swell, the Circle Cliffs, or Robbers Roost. I'm gettin' old, and been away a long time. Thems is some nice little trip vignettes you cobbled together there, pal.

thanks fer the stoke, 'migos.
I'm aiming that way agin after the hot times, bound for the real mother lode
and as for localities just take it on back towards North Pappy Flappy, where it smaaayellllls like poop and it sure look crappy. but you old salts knowed this awready. hammers and steel, productive syntax, sobriety, beta occupy little place here at the leading edge of nothing.

Have you ever forded across the Dirty Devil River at the Poison Creek Canyon crossing? Mighty sporty, did it twice and then said "never again", at least not in my car! Many mint splitters to be had out thataways, puts North Wash to shame.

Funny, now your pic has me stumped. I have a pretty good idea of how to find yer tower but I'm kinda bummed that I don't recognize her. The Dirty hit 2,000 cfs last week, woulda been a hard ford for sure.

It's Happy Canyon, approached from Poison Spring Canyon just before the river crossing. Long approach, big payoff.

Oh yeah, I remember now, the Bjornstad "Pinnacles." I had been pondering a walk up from the ford although the ever-shaky beta from DR indicates a rap approach to be best. You came in from below, it seems. That old U road looks pretty decent on the aerials but then, they all seem decent until you pick up that heavy pack.
I once found a decapitated Blow-up Betty™ head at the mouth of that canyon, and a jar of hemp (?) seeds at the ford. Weird country, quite foreboding and austere in comparison to the lush greens, pinks, artesian springs of my recent conquest.

Last time I dove through the notch was '96. It was scary, and we had to remove more than a few big rocks in order to squeeze through.

right on Taconians!
So there's this other place. And a little whimsy is similarly requisite. That and some appetite for sand chunks in your face.
