Death Valley - Forge/Shoestring - February 23, 2008

Mid-canyon, we came upon a band of lovely white quartzite. Creamy.

Interesting rock. Bunch of rappels. We built a lot of cairns (surprise!).

And into the Pink Granite. Yeah, the rock is better than it looks, at least at the TOP of the raps.

A rappel, in context.

We found some interesting evidence of up-climbing on the last couple-a drops, then this 'plaque' at the top of the fan. Courtney playing puff-daddy!

Sittin' around the campfire.

Checkerboard Mesa, Zion

Short version: "Then we went home".

Bonus Pic, with a little help from Astronomy Picture of the Day
