For our group of 10, this was the second canyon we hit after Keyhole: http://www.bogley.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12354
So, get ready for some more blurry photos....
It would be great if we could get some from the other group shown here as well. :2thumbs:
Here's the video:

For the experts playing along at home who can't figure out our final rappel in Pinecreek.... we didn't use the standard rappel anchors, but instead rappeled the true water course.... we did this because when we hit the final rappel we where numbers 14 thru 24 to do the final rappel. It was really cool to do the true water course, which is how the route was actually done the first time I did Pine Creek. The original water course anchor bolts were pulled about 8 years ago so we just anchored to a big rock. Alex and Randi cleaned up the mess at the finish and did the standard rappel so we would leave no trace. For future reference, if you ever run into a large group at the final rappel, which happens often, this alternate route will really speed things up and give you a different experience.

Our group was the first to go down Pinecreek on Saturday. Conditions couldn't have been better for us. I'd like to throw a few photos out here in the Pinecreek TR section but if you'd like to see more or copies, just let me know and I'll link you in the right direction. I know I've shared my copies with Discgo also....so hit him up as well. I've said it a bazillion times, but it was an amazing adventure with amazing people. :2thumbs:
I have a ton more and don't have the time to get them up because I have to get to class.......but will do so later. Enjoy what I have so far. :mrgreen: |
