Eric, sporting his high-tech special high-slot stemming canyon pants...

The cute Ramras, in his element.

Stemming and clambering through the slot. Lots of features, but a few interesting high spots. Ram and I both had not remembered how much action Upper Stair offered. It IS a really great intro to high stemming. (Your Mileage May Vary; Professional Driver, Closed Course).

The real champ this day was Tim Hoover. He thought he had signed up for a few days of fun and sun, but was hustled away to Ram's "Full Immersion School of High Canyon Stemming." He was game. After Stair, Tim and I went down East Leprecaun - more good fun. Made it back to camp just before dark.
