Great tale of a close call, Peter!
How many of those in North Dome Gully! Three rules; stay in the dirt, stay left and do not rappel!
If all else fails, improvise, the always unfinished fourth rule of adventure!
A couple of fabulous shots of Chris on Outer Limits taken by Jim Stuart that appeared in the 73 Ascent article by Bridwell.

A generation of folks chanting "stay left" and "don't descend too soon" led to my own North Dome Gulley adventure... going too far and chattering til dawn on the edge of the cliffs east of there.
I think The Tao of Goldilocks applies here... don't descend too early, don't descend too late, look for just right.
And of course, it's always a pleasure to read your stories Peter :)
