11/8: Socal Beginner/Training trip down Bailey

[willisj]

I am setting up trip for next Saturday down Bailey Canyon. The trip is open to pretty much anyone who has some level experience rappelling. If I don't know you please let me know what your level of experience is. You can find my abbreviated canyon resume at:

I will cap the trip at 6 or so people, maybe 8 if there is another experienced person on the trip. And of course the trip is dependent on weather.

You can find the beta for Bailey at:

Standard Disclaimer: This is not a guided trip all who are on it are expected to have at least basic climbing/canyoneering skills, like ones you might learn at the ACA's Intro to Canyoneering Workshop.

Jason,

I am a beginner in socal and would be interested in your trip on Saturday 11/08. I attended the ACA Intro to canyoneering workshop last Sunday. Also I have been climbing for about a year now, so I have some basic climbing and repelling skills.

Thanks,

John

Jason, My name is Jerry Polletta and my wife is Jackie. We have both taken Rich's 3 day tech class and have been lucky enough to do some canyons with him. So far we've done Birch Hollow near Zion, Rubio, and San Antonio Falls. We've also done Keyhole and the Subway on our own. We would like to join you on this adventure if possible. We're looking to learn more from more experienced canyoneers. -Jerry Polletta

John and Jerry, You met Jason on Sunday. He was the guy running the top of the rappel station.

At the moment the 11/8 trip is full. I will let folks know if more slots open up.

Please update me if a spot opens. I was at the beginners course at Stoney Point and would love to run this canyon with you on Saturday.

Jason, I can switch out and do Bailey with Kirk on Sunday. I have a friend who only has 2-3 canyons under his belt so I will work with him in Kirk's group.

I'm still open for Saturday if that means there is now a spot? I've got most of my gear except for ropes and I need to make my teethers and foot loops. I don't own a wet suit or special canyoneering shoes but have everything else. I was the one in white at the beginner course with Thomas.

Sorry for not replying earlier, am on travel and wasn't online for a couple days. I will be sending you guys off line e-mails to sort this out. Will be sending the details via e-mail or private messages shortly.
