Pipe Springs Canyon, Zion National Park, Utah

Pipe Springs Canyon in Zion National Park is a serious technical canyon. Mike and Patrick rapped past the next anchor and had to pass a knot by tying ropes together to get to the bottom of one section. I clipped into the anchor on the pine tree and had everyone come down before re-rigging to the lower anchor. The walls narrowed into a beautiful slot canyon section with light slicing through — Daniel Sharue got great photos there. Worked through the canyon past a few more drops and climb-downs until we exited into the MIA trail. The team from the previous night's Kolob Lake camp all made it out strong.
