    It's time to dust off the cobwebs and rappel down a canyon. Let's do Pajarito Gorge in White Rock. This is not a class or workshop… just a canyon descent. Prior rappelling experience is required, but not canyoneering experience. This canyon has four rappels, longest is about 120 feet. It is usually possible to do this canyon without getting your feet wet. The hike out has a bit of 3rd class scrambling in the sun. We may need to cancel at the last minute due to weather, but that's how it goes sometimes with canyoneering.

       This is the fifth annual spring climb to iconic Cabezon Peak.

       Cabezon Peak towers 2000 feet above the Rio Puerco Valley. This volcanic plug is the remnant of the core of a volcano - like Shiprock. Appearing impregnable, Cabezon can nonetheless be ascended by the intrepid mountaineer who follows the hidden route that wends its way through a crack in the peak's defenses. Said mountaineer must be able to execute a couple of low fourth class maneuvers in pursuit of the summit and its spectacular views.

    Dear Mountaineers,

    Llama trip plans for spring 2025 have been in flux, but a plan is starting to gel. Llama packer BJ and I have agreed to dates for a drop camp, although we are still thinking about destination. The previously announced April llama trek may still go, but directly with BJ, not as a Mountaineers trip. I will take part in this trip, not the llama trek.

    This is a 70 mile backpack (ca. 12,000 ft elevation gain) on the CDT over the 4th of July weekend. We will either depart very early on Wed. morning, or leave Tuesday afternoon. It will take us about 5 hours to drive there and set up the car shuttle. Last year we went to Blue Lake and turned off there, but the access trail was in horrendous condition. This time, I want to take the easier route and hike all the way from 160. Expect ~15 mile days, to allow for a slightly shorter hiking day on Sunday, and early morning departures (not crazy early, around 7:30 am).
