Comment: We took the bottom up loop starting at Natural Bridge trailhead and did the South Fork. Replace webbing on all anchors in the South Fork except R5, which will need to be replaced soon. Also replaced and/or built a few anchors in the main canyon. Conditions were perfect. Overcast on the approach and a mixture of sun and clouds in the canyon. Got a bit of a late start due to the time change & finished the last two rappels with headlamps. A typical Black Mountain range canyon, which is to say stunning views and no significant challenges other than the longish approach and all natural anchors. This was great for many in the group who had never done a DV canyon.




Good

Comment: Good day in Abysmal. Hiked up to avoid a long shuttle. Replaced 90% of the webbing and hauled out all the old stuff. Someone left a tow strap in the canyon. What are people thinking??
