Mark ... Great job !!! I'm glad you posted the ol' Black Canyon. It's a very spectacular place.
I posted a few historical shots of Layton Kor that I took on the first ascent.
Peace, Jim
Thanks for the kind words, Jim. I hope it works out okay; I'm not a technical climber, but it just didn't seem right not having a page for it. And thanks for the images, too! --mark d.
Thanks for this wonderful Christmas present to SP. Nice to see the Black Canyon so well represented here, and perhaps better than anywhere else on the internet. Great assortment of photos and loads of info!
Thanks, Aaron! Now, if I can just find someone to fill in that technical climbing part, that would be great. In fact, I think it would be neat to have more info on the paddling part also. It's definitely a great place; much overlooked by the masses. --mark d.
Thanks, Bill. One thing I found as I was assembling the page was that there's no place on the Internet that has the info on Black Canyon of the Gunnison all together. Several places and activities are thoroughly discussed, but in separate places (East Portal, Red Rock Canyon, etc, come to mind). I hope that this page does a better job of presenting the info in one place, with links to more detailed info in other places. I also hope that some of the technical climbers will post a few routes. I keep asking when I come across one who has climbed here, but so far no luck. :-( --mark d.
