\"Karl<\/p>\n

I’m back from Utah. Karl, of Extreme Things<\/a>, and I were doing a bit of canyoneering through the Left Fork of the Virgin River\u00e2\u20ac\u201da route called Subway<\/a>. It’s a great slot canyon with a few rappels, squeezes, and swims. We added a bit of extra adventure to our trip by accidentally entering the canyon too soon adding four rappels to the hike. The adventure compounded when we realized a few members of an inexperienced group of ten had followed us down and were stranded on a ledge 35 feet above the canyon floor. \u00c2\u00a0Karl ascended our rope, built them harnesses from webbing, and I belayed them down to safety. The next several hours were filled with awesome canyoneering and a bit of babysitting as we helped the group navigate the more technical obstacles. I, of course, brought along the GoPro<\/a> and intend to post a video and more in-depth trip report later.<\/p>\n

A couple of videos I directed recently are also online now. The first is this year’s commercial for the West Hollywood Book Fair<\/a>. The second is one of three Combat Arms shorts we at Butcher Bird Studios<\/a> \u00c2\u00a0did for Nexon<\/a> earlier this summer. The other two should hopefully be completed soon.<\/p>\n
