Wild Wind Hollow

This canyon is often used as an escape from Birch Hollow so that a car shuttle is not required. The first group of canyoneers that I know of who did Birch Hollow and used Wild Wind Hollow as an escape gave the canyon it's name. It seems that one of the group had a bad case of gas and kept entertaining the rest of the group with his "rotten egg bum farts" for the entire exit.

:fart:

I noticed kelsey uses the Wild Wind Hollow name in his new book..... I guess he didn't think this one was silly..... :lol8:

Little Blue John

To the best of my knowledge.... the route was named by Tom Talboys sometime before 2003. Like many of you, I had seen the slot before when doing Blue John, but TT was the first person I knew who had actually done the slot. I believe the route first appeared to the public on Climb-Utah in March 2003.

At the same time the "Squeeze Variation" to East Fork of BJ also appeared in print and was my name for the alternate entrance.
