Having a High Time

Last weekend was perfect. An extra day meant I could do everything. Friday was Canyoneering. Saturday was mountain biking. Sunday was kayaking. And my tenkara rod joined me on all my adventures.

Most notable was Friday's canyoning with Joe and Edmund. We did the same route I had done solo the week before except we did it the opposite direction, descending the big watercourse. There were indeed four waterfalls right after each other near the beginning which meant there were three rappels and a sketchy hand line.  This was a really good canyon, but after the week before's epic ascent  I was left feeling like it was a little too easy. What the rappels lacked in technical difficulty was offset by the amazing beauty of this remote stretch of forest. We are calling it Left Hand Canyon, in honor of my dislocated thumb. (Right Hand Canyon soon to follow).
