On September 3nd, 2017, Nipun, Florian, Lacie, Derek, Tyler, Steph, and I took a relaxing lap through Diana's Throne Canyon. It was an excellent way to round out the trip.There were several hundred bees in this particular pothole. Luckily for us, they were far more interested in passing on their genetics than in attacking any intruders. |
Florian is from France and does not speak very much English. |
Then we turned an easy rappel into an opportunity for new folks to practice downclimbing.
It was a fine trip with a great group of people.
We look forward to the next time we can get out with each of you!
