GC5
Bright Angel - Grandview (the long way)
October 31- November 4, 2001
Day one.
 


Full moon on Halloween.  GC5 eve.
Tomorrow, we go into the hole.


TomM, TomR, Paul, and David.  Small but strong team.
The members are not pissed off at David at this point.


First stupid detour.  Why do we listen to Dave?


TomR still optimistic at this point.


Paul's cane weighs more than his pack.
Low mass makes the man.
It doesn't hurt that he's so good looking too!


First sight of the river.  Still a long way down to Phantom Ranch.


Now that's one big switchback.
If you look carefully, you'll see three of our party on the trail.


One of only two bridges crossing the Colorado in the park.


The bottom of the hole.  Time for some wine.
