Jed's Lake Powell pictures

Here are some of my Lake Powell pictures. This is our sweet spot up Crystal Springs canyon. Note the cooler and chairs that deturred others from crowding our bay. Suckers.
This is the morning glass by the boat:
Here's Dave beating the tar out of that glass:
And Mom skiing like there's no tomorrow:
Other adventures without photo documentation: Dave and I explored the slot at the end of the canyon, which is the first time I can remember it being accessible. Man, it was cool; we didn't bring a camera because we really didn't think we'd get that far. It took us about 45 minutes to get up to the wash. Dave, Korri, Scott, and I explored the next slot over a couple of days later. It was pretty cool too, though a lot more sketchy. We went 30 minutes, then got to a point that was pretty dicey and turned around. Dave, Korri, and I found a nice little 3-piece crack, hand size, about 5.6-5.7. Dave tried to venture higher, but things were too sketchy so we returned to the houseboat for recandyfication.
A really good Powell trip, in my book. Thanks Mom and Dad!
