After returning from Trachyotomy, we settled down at the always familiar Sandthrax site. More folks were set to arrive after sunset, and the party was only just beginning. Joining the group that night were the Arharts, Alicia, Rick, Bette, Joan, Debbie, Tom and Justin.

As plans were made for day two, I was insistent on staying dry, and was excited to do a Maidenwater Yo-Yo. Meanwhile, Dave and company were set to go attempt a canyon he had been scouting with a working name of "Woody." So the crews were divvied up, and we went on our way.

Middle Maidenwater makes for some fun upclimbs.

And another, this time Rick showing us how it's done.

There are probably 6 or 7 good challenges in this canyon, going in reverse. Easy with a good climber, but not too easy as to be boring.
