Today is the Second Annual Karl Domangue Memorial

Today is the Second Annual Karl Domangue Memorial Day.
In October of 2019, cancer took the life of a good friend and mentor (or facilitator as he’d prefer). This would be his 51st birthday.

Last year, many of us who owe a lot to Karl got together for the First Annual Karl Memorial Hike. I don’t suppose that is very practical this year where Covid has interfered with so many plans worldwide.

I have infinite memories with the dude, but the one I’ve chosen to highlight this year is our September 2011 trip to Zion National Park. Karl ran an outdoor business called Extreme Things including an Adventure Club where he hosted a variety of excursions. I had been a member for a few years and Karl and I decided to do a scouting trip through the beloved and semi-technical canyon called Subway. The aim was to see if it would be a good trip to guide other club members through the following year. Unbeknownst to us, our quick two man scouting trip was going to become a 12 hour test of our guiding skills. We encountered 10 college students with minimal gear (1 harness, 1 ATC, and 1 carabiner amongst the lot of them) and absolutely no knowledge to get them through the canyon. None of them had ever rappelled or been canyoneering in any form. One of them had seen a YouTube video though. To their credit, they did have 2 life vests for the members of their group who couldn’t swim. We made swami belts from webbing and lowered them down rappels. We showed them ways to bypass obstacles and navigate through the narrows. We made sure they’d be able to get out without help from SAR and had a great time doing so. We all exited in the dark. Karl and I were positive we were prepared to bring our more capable club friends through this spectacular place.
