Final Rappel into South Fork Choprock

The was alot of canyon that we covered in between this picture and the previous photo. Unfortunately I was not able to properly photograph the canyon because we were swimming in water and technical climbing most of the time. The sections I was not able to photograph we primarily narrow, dark slots filled with cold water. Typically we would make a difficult downclimb in to a pool of water, swim for a few minutes, exit, then repeat a few meters down canyon. This went on for probably 3 hours. The difficulty of this canyon lies in the sustained climbing, and cold water swims. I really wish I would have photographed more in the "grim section", because it was amazing. But, we were focused on the descent, and I didn't want to ruin my camera in the water.
