Awe...... ain't that sweet.
A few rappels, a few boulders to climb under. With the supposed difficulties evaporated, we had a nice, leisurely crawl down the canyon. Fun to get out with good friends only once in a while.

A little lunch, gentlemen?

After lunch, the canyon began to drop. We found a variety of interesting anchors. I pulled out a two-pin anchor with about 5 lbs of pressure - John and Walt's? There were several other hardware anchors about, and many easy to get natural ones available. Jeesh, climbers!
This nice bolt was above a 4th class downclimb. I guess with heavy haulbags it makes sense, but... The sling is tubular webbing, and was pretty torn up. Sand had washed inside the tube during flashfloods. We cleaned the sling, but left the bolt.
