A nice trip through North Wash's East Leprechaun Canyon

It was reported there was a new, odd, superfluous bolt backing up a cairn at the first rappel in Leprechaun… or something like that. For those familiar with the system, ‘the first rappel in Lep’ is rather non-specific – there are seven spots that could be the ‘first rappel’. I figured it was probably at the very top of East Lep, and as I had a few hours available driving back from Ouray, and there was a pleasant light rain falling, I threw some tools in the pack and went for a stroll. First Stop, East Lep.
The top-layer rappel in East (A) can be walked around, but we usually rap it off an easy-to-build cairn. There was a well constructed, though oversized, cairn here, no bolt.

Love these beautiful fall mornings - especially since "early" means 9 a.m. Destinations for the day were West Leprechaun Canyon for the Arhart clan, and the Main Fork of Leprechaun Canyon for Dave and me.

After a quick lunch in the sun, Dave gives us the beta on Left Fork. Dave and Deb go off exploring.
Shane has been exploring a new slot canyon area down near Hanksville, and was getting ready to release it to the Circle of Few when, ahem, well, they got kinda stuck. Sounded intense, so it seemed like a good time to go check it out.
