The Wives - Capitol Reef
Date: 10/30/2022
Did Wife 3 for Halloween trip! With Dana, cat, Madeline, Dane, and ammara. Approach can be tricky - there is a pretty easy ramp walk up the left side of betrothed canyon, right at the first white/pink rock transition. Huge free hanging drop to start, make sure the webbing is super long and you courtesy rig/get a clean pull. Also double check the solution pocket anchor.

probably 4/5 hours car to car on 2020 Thanksgiving with Dana, Lara, & Mike. Got the rope stuck real bad on mandatory rap 1....probably should extend the anchor more, and fuck dynamic lines. Did the hike out which is a little exposed/hard to find. Bolts from the last rap have been removed but there are tree anchor options LDC that would be just fine

3 hrs car to car - nice easy canyon with Dana, Lara, & Mike. Last rap has 2 bolts which allow for a free-hanging rap - more fun than off the tree

Thanksgiving day! 5 hrs car to car with Dana, Lara, & Mike. Great canyon, that last rap is amazing. Dana got stuck right before the last rap. Did the carsonite post climbers exit - not too bad, Mike solo'd it and sent down a handline.

Looking Glass Rock - Moab

2020 Thanksgiving trip with Lara & Mike & Dana! Lead pitches 1-2, Dana lead 3. The climbing was pretty easy but a little strung out - top belaying was a bit of a pain to keep up. But it was beautiful! double rope rapped off of the 3 bolt anchor at the center of the arch. Rope got stuck in some serious grooves....had to have the next party throw it down. For sure will need to extend the anchor next time, and potentially use a static rope and/or pad the edge. Don't extend your rappel device if doing the double line rap!
