Well... these two canyons were the only "published" canyons I did the entire trip. I posted a video a long time ago of two canyons that hadn't been published yet and didn't give the location as I was "shown" these canyons and didn't find them on my own, then a couple people got upset that I would tease people with video of a great canyon and not tell anyone where it is. I think I was told TR's without beta are worthless fluff so I usually just keep my mouth shut online when people show me stuff. We did some explorations (six new canyons, one of which was on my rest day) but even then nothing was MY project so I leave it up to the project leaders to do what they want, they did all the work and can do whatever they want with the info gained.

Chambers was, like Marc said, dry and windy and really fun. Next time I will do it without a pack, if you use Tom's beta (Shane's has you walking for hours to get to the exit) a competent group can do it easily in a half day and without the pack the canyon would be even better. It's really tight in some spots but easy to go high. That subway section in the middle is really nice.

White Roost was good too, short but like Chambers, the exit wasn't far away. A great combo to make a full day (they are right next door to each other). I can write more TR's but not if I'm going to get slammed for posting fluff. We did do Psycho Damage, maybe I will write up something for that, most people seem to be familiar with that one. If you aren't here is Stevie B's video from a couple years ago (we did the super high silo stem at a lower spot that was still scary but not nearly as bad... the canyon is also much prettier than the video makes it look).

Better check again.... Chambers was recently updated and is now down to about a 3 hour loop.

That's the nice thing about publishing to the web.... easy to improve the route description.... also might want to note that the Neon route was updated today with a strong warning about the keeper pothole.

I don't think you were told anything nearly that dramatic.... I think the consensus was if it’s a secret then it’s best to keep the secret, other wise it might come across as nothing but good old fashion chest thumping… but then again…. telling everyone you just did a secret canyon but are not going to post beta or pictures could easily be taken in the same manner….

On a personal level…. Any and all beta is welcome, including photo and fluff beta. The only thing I find annoying is when a secret canyon is fluff betaed and photo betaed and then certain individual’s get peeved when the secret canyon is properly betaed in guidebook or website… but then again, I’m hardly an innocent bystander…

So… whatever floats your boat….

Yea, I guess I can see that, I try to keep chest thumping to a minimum although I'm sure everyone is guilty of it every now and then. Here is my TR for now. Chambers was dry, White Roost had a little bit of water but it wasn't very deep. The canyons around Bullfrog had a lot of water (seemed like every pothole that could hold water, was holding water) and weather has been great down South aside from the wind storms (epic wind storm on Tuesday the 15th). I was disappointed to come home to rain and cool temps. Ram will probably post a link to his pictures over on the yahoo Canyons forum sometime. :rockon:

Hey.... I love a little chest thumping every now and again, it shows me you guys are passionate.
