The Wives - Capitol Reef
Date: 04/13/2024
I took Kate, Ryan Madsen, Kyle Oswald and John Wirthlin. Total move time was 4 hrs 10 min. Started around 3PM and finished approx 8:20PM and it was pretty dark. We decided to do Wife #5 first then Wife #3. We can see why people do #3 first and leave their rope rigged and retrieve it later since pulling it was super difficult even though we got it done. The 200' rap in Wide #3 was incredible. Getting into Wife #5 was challenging with some downclimbing. This may have taken us longer than usual since we were rout finding and trying to determine where the head of each canyon was. The GAIA map on the phone proved it's weight in gold and took a lot of the guess work out. Wife #5 had a few pockets of water just over knee deep.
