Monoxide (both forks)
Arscenic
Shillelaugh forks and Lucky Charms are ok for beginners, but are just so darn easy!

Others...? We're being pretty flexible here.

Damn... those are all cold weather canyons.... save them for winter when you need something to do. They would be really hot in August. They are all usually dry.

Only canyons in that area you might be able to talk me into that time of year would be "The Black Hole" and maybe Cheese Box.

And for the record.... the east fork of Monoxide is not worth doing..... I did it so you don't have too :haha:

Isn't "The Black Hole" a big black sooty, log-jammed mess right now?

Cheesebox could be doable. For that matter, so could Gravel, and/or Hideout Canyons as well. :2thumbs:

If you seriously want to do The Black Hole, I'd be down, but let's make sure we're all on the same page here.

Wetsuits mandatory right?

Or here's another idea.....have you seen that side canyon that empties into The Black Hole just above the entrance to The Black Hole that's hinted at in Kelsey's new "Guide to the Colorado Plateau?" It looks pretty cool....it empties into a big silo, kind of like a dry Neon Canyon.

Could be some new beta for Climb-Utah.......am I enticing you enough? :haha:

Sounds like the mess is only in one spot, and its down past most of the swimming and previous log jams and can be skirted around. I may be wrong, but thats what i got from the Dave Black reports. Also, I bet theres been some flow with the big rain in the area lately. Seemed like I saw 1.5 inches in moab the other day?

I think Rock Ski is correct about what the Black Hole looks like. Also, I would not take a wetsuit to do the Black Hole if I was going in July or August, but that is a personal choice. Depending on when you decide to go the monsoon season should do a pretty good job of cleaning up the canyon, or making a bigger mess.....

And while Hesse was shivering in Fat Man's last weekend I was dipping myself in the water to cool down. Maybe hesse should drink more beer :haha:

Kelseys side canyon sounds interesting..... and then we could give it a cool name :2thumbs: I suggest Not-Mile-Marker 25.1 :roflol:

Kelsey has named it "Horse Tanks Canyon," but I think we could come up with a better name.

Sooooooo, let's see here. We got Ice, Kazak, and hesse15 all committed....

Canyons are "Horse Tanks," and Cheesebox (both forks?)

Kazak is bringing beer.

Hesse15 is bringing the entertainment.

Anyone else want in on this? Should be fun!!!! :cheers:

I wear 9.5-10.5, depends on the shoe, do 5.10 run big or small? Where do you live at?

Ya no shit Ice. First you're like...."Well, I'll come if you do Cheesebox or TBH." Then two seconds later you're like....."Just kidding. I have a bunch of weddings to go to..." :lame:

Give us a date. Let's make it work. :rockon:

Last weekend in July good for everyone?

I got too much crap planned already, only first weekend of Aug is good for me. I am an underdog here, so if you guys go another weekend, then no hard feelings (but you don't get the free beer :blbl: )

I'm definately interested. Gotta make sure everything else is clear which I think it is. I'm more interested in the first couple weeks in Aug but end of July could work.
