Uberfest Capitol Reef Rondy. 2 experienced leaders, 1 middle aged woman, and us. 4.5 hours car to car. 1.5-2 hour approach.

Left Fork. 5 hours car to car. Rebuilt cairn/chockstone anchor at the optional 3rd rap / downclimb.

Left Fork. 1st canyon with no leadership. Built anchor at optional 2nd rap. Ascended rope on 3rd rappel to avoid getting eight block stuck.

Day 2 of private class with Jared. Rigged all rappels under his supervision.

First solo canyoneering trip. Went up and right after the dome instead of left and got turned around on top of the mesa for an hour or so, but finally made it to the rappel about 2 hours after setting out from the visitor center. Pretty cool. Wish I had read about the Goblin Squeeze prior as that would have been fun to explore

Guided. Ellie from Moab Cliffs and Canyons. Not memorable.

Guided by Ellie with Moab Cliffs and Canyons. The stem up to the chockstone rappel at the end was torture but the rest of the canyon was great.

East Fork. Guided.

Little Wild Horse was awesome but Bell was a tortuous slug. Do not recommend doing the loop. Turn around after Little Wild Horse.

First "technical"ish canyon. Really fun! Definitely overkill with the stemming and helmets, and definitely could have done better on downclimbs, but really fun loop!
