Where: North Wash, Utah
When: November 2009
Who: Ram, Steve Levin, Sarah & Dominic Meiser, Aron Ralston, Dan Ransom, Matt Brechta, Roger Briggs, and Landon from Salt Lake (Shenanigans) / Sarah & Dominic Meiser, Aron Ralston, Landon from Salt Lake, and Chuck from Salt Lake (Main Lep)
Although I'd descended the very tight main fork of Leprechaun several years earlier and found it to be delightful (though DB got stuck!), I'd repeatedly put off the area classic Shenanigans because it was said to be so tight that anyone over 180 pounds would not fit through. After a hard-working summer in the mountains, and a fall that was nearly as active, my weight was trimmed to precisely 180 pounds! I was ready (sort of)!
Turns out, Shenanigans was a delight. With some help from Ram and others, I squeezed through with surprisingly little effort (other than the psychological kind). I'd love to go back and do it again...but first, we headed off for another Main Leprechaun run!
