Aardvark Canyon
Time for another big day. Today we hit Aardvark, a canyon I had only heard rumors about. It rarely gets done because of the nightmare logistics and length of the day. We got lucky and for Matt's birthday Mother Nature made the logistics easier but it was still a big day with questionable weather. The photo's however turned out better than I expected so here they are.

Land of domes.
Good light on wet slickrock (it definitely rained out here the night before).
Cool little arch.
She's smiling because it hasn't goten cold yet ;)

My other favorite shot of the trip.
After being in the canyon all day, we approached the final rappel... it was basically a wind tunnel. We were all wet and cold already, the wind tunnel did not help at all. Here, Jenny and Ram are huddling out of the wind while we get the ropes set and start quickly sending people down. No photos of the last rap because I was busy helping get people out.
