Hey Rich (or anyone!)-- Any updates on the 5-10 Canyoneers? I have a few days going up and down Clear Creek coming up, and I like my piggies happy. I'm...
Mike, my 5-10 Canyoneers have been up and down South Kaibab and up and down Clear Creek a number of times with no issues. Clear Creek is the kind of place...
Best 'tip' is a Big Rock -- really big boulder on bare rock just slightly downslope from the trail, so if you see this Big Rock and you are not on the trail...
Thanks, Rich! I think I'll try the Savants--since I'll have to order online, any comments on sizing? True to size? I guess I'll find out soon enough, but how...
We have a winner and fast too. John is right on. It is Scorpion Ridge taken from the Tonto at Agate Canyon. Nice going John. Richard ... around Agate...
I get to ask for opinions--and I know this group has got 'em! I've never been to Clear Creek before, but I'll be spending a few days there at the end of...
Rich, I have 5-10 climbing shoes so right after boots came out I got a pair for scrambling back in Clear Creek and Cheyava. By Sumner Wash (on CC Trail), the...
Mike, I've never been there in spring, so not sure what it's like for water flow. I spend most of my time camped up ECC, but it's dry camping when I go....
Mike, I always buy my 5-10's a half size larger than the rest of my boots. They run a little on the small side AND I wear neoprene socks in them often. The...
Hi Ed, it sounds like 5-10's early Canyoneers were crap. I owned 4 pairs of the original Canyoneer's starting about five years ago. Every pair delaminated at...
If you want to see some nice indian ruins go up the first side canyon to the north of the Camping area. It is a old studied area that was first cataloged in...
Our trip started out with heading out to We Cook Pizza and Pasta for beer and calzones to-go. We drank the beer there and took the calzones. We left for the...
... Yeaaayyyy!!! Congratulations Amy! I knew you were out there and was hoping to hear a report soon. (I was getting ready to ask.) And I must say, I had a...
... wrote: AMY, Youre an inspiration,thanks for the report, my wife and i will be at the rim the 7th thru the 9th,coming in from michigan for the sedona ...
... Rich--No argument here. I've more typically gone with a low sticky shoe/boot. This year I went with a "normal" boot--Vasque Breeze--and had friction issues...
Have also seen similar holes in Unkar Group formations, I want to say Dox Sandstone. So, Precambrian. These were a bit bigger diameter if I recall, I would...
While we are on the subject of geology, perhaps someone here can answer a question for me... this is too granular to show up on my geo map of the canyon which...
Glad your trip went well Amy, wow how things change every year. Last March the R.A drainage was completely dry for us until 10 minutes above the Arch itself. ...
Mike, I would ditto Rich's advice on the sizing. Following his suggestion (and after struggling to follow him through Kanab Creek in a useless pair of Solomon...
Hi Amy. That's a super-excellent summary of your trip. I also agree that the alternate bypass on creek right is safe but not easy or fool- proof -- I think...
I can't say it any better than all the hikers who have already replied to your trip report Amy. First of all, you and Dennis have done something less than 1...
