On April 5th, 2025, Joe, Claire, Jordan, Jackson, Cara, Meg, Easton, and I did a lap through Middle Leprechaun Canyon. This was my 6th trip through the slot. My first trip was 14 years previous - which was very difficult to believe. This was Joe, Claire, Meg, and Easton's first technical canyon.
The sand level in the canyon was several feet lower than I had ever seen it before, which made the bottom of the slot more narrow than usual. This narrowing made passage more difficult than usual. Additionally, the canyon had seen some rain during the previous day, which added to the challenge.
The highlight of the day was an unusual partner assist where the skinny people in the group stood in the bottom of the slot while the bigger people walked across their shoulders. Incredible!
I am thankful for everyone in this group for getting together for this adventure. It was another fun and memorable trip through Middle Lep. I can't wait to go back for my 7th lap.
