First of all, the members who comes to this trip were already selected and no spots available. Sorry, but I got only 8 permits for this trip and wanted to call only experienced hikers.
But, since all the members comes form meetup group, I post this trip to make it easy to share the info and pics.
Anyway, there is a slight chance someone cancell and some lucky hiker can get that spot.

Pine Creek is a technical slot canyon that is not only spectacular, but it has an easy off the highway entrance and a fairly easy exit. These two factors make it a popular slot canyon even though the actual slot is just as difficult as many of Zion slot canyons. The lighting in the cathedral of Pine Creek creates a mystical setting in the bowels of the canyon that draws canyoneers through its passage time and time again.

Required Gear:
Harness
Belay device
Locking carabiners
Helmet
Water/canyoneering shoes
Sling or PAS for setting up on rappels
Rappel experience

Optional gear:
Gloves
Trakking poles
Wet suit
Hiking gear
Ted Vandell will bring 200 ft rope

The plan:
Most of us drive up on Friday and camp at Zion. You have to get your camp spot by yourself.
You don't have to camp on Friday night, but meet us at Visitor center on Saturday 8AM. I need to pick up the permit at there. Then goes to Zion Adventure Company for rent or buy some gear.

We will use 3 cars to set up a simple car shuttle. Need to leave 1 car at trail end.

It takes about 5 hours to complete the hike, so there will probably be time for an another hike in the afternoon. I don't have any plan yet.

Some of us camp Saturday night and do another Canyoneering on Sunday.

$5.00 will cover the cost of Permit.
