For Wednesday, the canyon of choice was Erebus Canyon. Dante's View was finally open, so we started there and hiked along the ridge an hour to the drop down point that serves several canyons, including Abysmal which we had done two years prior. Erebus ended up being the best canyon I have done in Death Valley; not too bad an approach, lots of raps, fun downclimbs, not too much walking.

The seldom seen, high above the floor of the Valley of Death.

Down a ridge we went, which had a small mining camp near this point. Dan posing point.

Down this ridge, then down the next, then down into that canyon.

Typical DV anchor - big pile-a-rocks.

Always smiling Dan Ransom, rapping a rap in DV Erebus.

And again, smiling again.

The canyon seemed to be tracking the nice rock, seemed like limestone, which turns white in the watercourse.

What a surprise - another Rap!!!

A biggish rap, beside a lot of chossy rock.

Finally, out onto the fan, and walk out to the road.

... Steve Cole generously ran shuttle for us and picked us up at the bottom, after a short wait.

From there, back home, to snowyish Zion, a hot shower, a soft bed. Catch you on the flip-flop.
