Story

Thursday, I met up with Matt Laurendeau and Ondy at Ondy's house so we could carpool to our canyon. We left about 7:30 and got to our camp site at the top of Quandary Canyon at around 11:15. Ondy slept in the cab, I slept on a cot in the bed of the truck, and Matt set up a tent.

Friday, after a long day doing Quandary and Knotted Rope, we got back to camp just before midnight. I changed into dry clothes to warm up and cooked hot dogs and then crashed.

Saturday, we were originally planning to do The Squeeze on Saturday, but due to finishing late in Friday, we bailed on Saturday's canyon. Matt, Ondy, and I slept in and had a lazy morning. We watched the solar eclipse. We didn't have glasses to view it, so we just used our phones, and I was able to get some good shots of the solar eclipse with a lens flare from the camera that was in the shape of the eclipse and that was the best we could do. We packed up camp and then drove home.
