Wow, that is a great video, hopefully our Sierra bears don't see this. :D

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.

Thanks for posting. In the days before canisters, I used to put my food on a sheer cliff or on top of a big sheer erratic and never lost anything. Good thing Sierra bears didn't try to climb like this. My wife, son, and I went down Santa Elena Canyon with her father in the 1990s. The only wildlife we saw besides lots of birds was a wild pig crossing the Rio Grande from one side of the border to another, prompting lots of illegal immigrant jokes.
I don’t need a goal destination. I need a destination that meets my goals.

Only wussys use chalk for free climbs!
Nice Russ. Next time I go to Big Bend I'll be a bit more aware of more than snakes!
