(Tom takes the next day off, and enjoys it immensely). Early morning finds us up in the wind of Dante's View again, with Cerberus as the day's objective. We follow the instructions from Chris Brennan's Excellent Website across the ridge, then down this slope into a canyon. Ram's Death Valley Diary of the day available HERE (on the Canyons Group).

Looking down the ridge to the floor of Death Valley, and Telescope Peak across the way.

Smilin' Ryan Hull, a-rappin' down the canyon. Up high, we are in the chossy stuff here.

One of the longer raps in Cerberus. I think the rock here is welded tuff.

They build their cairns BIG, 'round here.

Mmmmm, nice rock, eh??? Another short rappel.

Bill Wolverton, bane of Russian Olive everywhere, having a quick snack.
