Behunin Canyon

Behunin Canyon, Zion National Park - 3AIII


This quite possibly may be the best canyon we have ever run. Pine Creek is the prettiest but this one has BIG rappels and BIG exposure.



Andy Simister accompanied us. He had not rappelled in 15 years. What a beast.


Josh on rappel!

Mt Nebo

Two unsuccessful attempts on Mt Nebo in a day.  We took Pole Canyon on both attempts.

First attempt.







We had to bail when it got late in the day.

Second attempt.
Drying out.

Avalanche dangers became to great of a risk.  Shut down couple hundred feet from the summit.
