Chris Avery came by for his annual Zion trip, this time with son Tanner in tow. We rounded up Lin Alder of Springdale and two of his friends, Pearl and Blake. Crack of Dawn start - oh, OK, 11 am - at the West Rim Trailhead. Not like it is hot in July, or anything...

...and here we are at the head of the Left Fork.

Our chosen objective was the Complete Right Fork, using the Hammerhead entrance. We went past Potato Hollow and used the meadows on the other side to get to the edge of the Hammerhead. From here, we traversed over and down (blue line).

The ever-cheerful Lin Alder hooking up for a rappel, and, on this trip, advocating the many benefits of fill-flash.

A fun crotch shot - always popular. Two biners under an ATC-XP, is the topic.

Lin, third(?) rap in Hammerhead.

We took a bivy as soon as we found some water, pothole water; and before the first rappel in the Direct.
