On May 14, 2011 I accomplished the most difficult feat I've ever experienced. It was made much MUCH more difficult than necessary by my lack of planning and preparation, but difficult it was none-the-less. Here is a picture of me about 1 mile down into the Canyon. It's most likely around 5am and watching the sunrise over the rim of the Canyon while eating my breakfast was one of the most amazing experiences ever.
More pictures and the story of this crazy day to come soon...
