Well, I don't know what they were

Sniffing the ponderosa. Butterscotch!




Slot at the end of the canyon.
We did not get in too far. After a few mini water obstacles, we hit
the pitch black and seeming end of the slot. Turns out, most people
downclimb this canyon using an initial rapel and a few chimneys.
