KE Komo mua
I ʻApelila 1990 ua hoʻoholo wau e hoʻomau i ka mākaʻikaʻi ʻana i ka pūnaewele e ʻike pono i ka mea i loko o ka Chorro Canyon. I kēlā manawa ua hoʻonohonoho wau i kahi huakaʻi ma o ka ʻaoʻao kiʻekiʻe o ke kahawai, kahi a Lorenzo Moreno, Sergio Murillo, Esteban Luviano, Dora Valenzuela, Esperanza Anzar a me kahi kikowaena i komo.
Ua haʻalele mākou iā ensenada a piʻi i ka mauna mauna San Pedro Mártir ma o ke ala lepo e hele aku ana i ka hale kiaʻi astronomical UNAM. Haʻalele mākou i kā mākou kaʻa i kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo La Tasajera a ma kēia wahi like mākou e hoʻomoana ai. I ka hola ʻeiwa o ke kakahiaka o ka lā aʻe ua hoʻomaka mākou i ka hele wāwae i ke kumu o ke kahawai o Chorro ma waena o kahi awāwa nani i kapa ʻia ʻo La Grulla, kahi e hoʻopuni ʻia e nā lāʻau paina a hāʻawi ʻole i ka manaʻo aia ma Baja Kaleponi. Maanei i hānau ʻia ke kahawai o Chorro mai kekahi mau punawai, a hoʻomau mākou i kēlā me kēia manawa e pili ana i nā mea kanu nui a lele i waena o nā pōhaku. I ka pō hoʻomoana mākou i kahi kahi a mākou i kapa aku ai ʻo "Piedra Tinaco" a ʻoiai ke kaumaha o ka hele wāwae, hauʻoli maoli mākou i ka ʻāina a me ka ʻike maka o ka flora a me nā holoholona.
I ka lā aʻe e hoʻomau mākou i ka hele wāwae. ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu, ua haʻalele ka kahawai i ka wikiwiki monotonous i loaʻa iā ia ma ka Crane a hoʻomaka e hōʻike i nā kahawai a me nā wailele mua, a ua koi iā mākou e lawe i kekahi mau ala hele ma waena o nā puʻu e pili ana, e luhi ana no ka rameríos paʻa a me ka lā kaumaha. I ka ʻekolu o ka ʻauinalā, ua kū ka wailele ma kahi o 15 m iā mākou e hana i kahi alahele no hoʻokahi hola. ʻAneʻane ʻeleʻele ke hoʻomoana mākou ma ke kahawai, akā loaʻa ka manawa e hopu i kahi iʻa no ka ʻaina awakea.
I ke kolu o ka lā o ka hele wāwae ʻana ua hoʻomaka mākou i ka hana ma 8:30 o ke kakahiaka, a ma hope o kekahi manawa ua hōʻea mākou i kahi kahi e ukali ai nā kahawai a me nā wailele liʻiliʻi ma hope o kekahi a hana i nā loko maikaʻi kahi i kū ai mākou e ʻauʻau. Mai kēia wahi, ua hoʻomaka ke kahawai e hoʻonani iā ia iho a aneane nalowale nā pine e hāʻawi i nā alders, poplars a me nā ʻoka. I kekahi mau ʻāpana he nui nā poloka o ka granite ma waena o ka wai i nalowale, e hana ana i kekahi mau ala lalo a me nā wailele. ʻO ka hola 11 ia a mākou i hōʻea ai ma mua o kahi wailele 6 m hiki ʻole iā mākou ke huli aʻe, ʻaʻole hoʻi ma luna o nā puʻu, ʻoiai ma aneʻi e pau ka wai i ke kahawai a hoʻomaka i kāna iho vertiginous. No ka mea ʻaʻole mākou i lawe mai i ke kaula uila a i ʻole nā pono hana e ʻālapa, ʻo kēia kahi a mākou e hele mai ai. I kēia manawa ua kāhea mākou ia "Ke poʻo o ka ʻaeto" ma muli o kahi pōhaku gigantic i kū i kahi mamao a me he mea lā he ʻano ko kēlā.
I ka wā e hoʻi ai, lawe mākou i ka manawa kūpono e mākaʻikaʻi ai i kekahi o nā kahawai ʻaoʻao i Chorro Canyon, e nānā i nā ana a kipa aku i nā awāwa ʻē aʻe e kokoke ana iā La Grulla, e like me kahi i kapa ʻia ʻo La Encantada, he mea kupaianaha maoli nō ia.
KA PALAPALA
I Ianuali 1991, ua lele wau me kuʻu hoaaloha ʻo Pedro Valencia ma luna o Sierra de San Pedro Mártir. Ua hoihoi au i ka nānā ʻana i ka Chorro Canyon mai ka lewa ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i nā wahi e ʻike ai i kona wahi i loko. Ua lele mākou ma luna o ka hapanui o ka pae mauna a ua hiki iaʻu ke kiʻi i ke kahawai a ʻike he kū pololei ia. Ma hope ua hiki iaʻu ke kiʻi i kahi o nā kiʻi lewa a kekahi mau ʻepekema ma Ensenada i kiʻi ai a ua hiki iaʻu ke kaha kiʻi i kahi palapala ʻāina kūloko o ia wahi. I kēia manawa ʻaʻohe oʻu kānalua no ka mea ʻaʻohe mea i komo i ka Chorro Canyon. Me ke kālailai ʻana o nā kiʻi lewa a me ka lele aʻu i hana ai, ua ʻike wau e like me kā mākou i neʻe ai i kahi e hoʻomaka ai ka ʻaoʻao kū. mai laila e iho i lalo ke kahawai kokoke 1 km ma lalo o 1 km ākea, a hiki i kahi a Rangel a me aʻu i hōʻea ai i 1989, ʻo ia hoʻi, ke kumu o ka sierra.
KE KUMU KALUA
I ʻApelila 1991 ʻO Jesús Ibarra, Esperanza Anzar, ʻo Luis Guzmán, ʻo Esteban Luviano Renato Mascorro a ua hoʻi au i nā kuahiwi e hoʻomau i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka Canyon. Nui nā lako a mākou a ua ukana nui mākou no ka mea ʻo ka makemake e noho ma ia wahi no 10 mau lā a ʻoi paha. Ua lawe mākou i kahi altimeter a ana mākou i nā kiʻekiʻena o nā wahi koʻikoʻi kahi a mākou e hele ai. Aia ke awāwa ʻo Grulla ma 2,073 mau mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai a me Piedra del Tinaco ma 1,966 mika ma luna o ka ʻilikai.
I ke kolu o ka lā, ua hiki wawe mākou i ke poʻo o ka ʻaeto (ma 1,524 mau mika ma luna o ke kai) kahi mākou i hoʻonohonoho ai i kahi hoʻomoana kahua a hoʻokaʻawale iā mākou iho i ʻelua mau hui e holomua. E wehe kekahi o nā hui i ke ala a hana kekahi i "cherpa", ʻo ia hoʻi, e halihali lākou i ka meaʻai, nā ʻeke hiamoe a me kekahi mau pono hana.
I ka manawa i hoʻonohonoho ʻia kahi hoʻomoana, ua māhelehele mākou a hoʻomau i ka ʻimi ʻana. ʻO ka pūʻali koa i ka wailele e kali nei i ka makahiki i hala; he kulu 6 m. He mau mika mai laila aku, hiki mākou i kahi hui nui o nā poloka granite nunui, ka huahana o ka hāʻule ʻana o hoʻokahi tausani mau makahiki, kahi e ālai ai i ke kahawai a hana i ka wai e kānana ma waena o nā lua i ka pōhaku, a ma loko o ia e hana ʻia nā wailele a me nā loko i, ʻoiai liʻiliʻi, nani lākou o ka nani. Ma hope ua piʻi mākou i kahi palaka nui ma ka ʻākau a hoʻomākaukau e iho i kahi kī lua o kahi o 15 m o ka hāʻule i pau pono ma kahi e puka ai ka wai o ke kahawai me ka ikaika nui mai kāna ala honua.
Hoʻomau mākou i ko mākou holomua a ma hope iki o ka hiki ʻana i kahi wailele ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o nā mea a pau a mākou i ʻike ai a hiki i kēlā manawa (30 m), kahi e pau ai ka wai i ka wai a iho i nā lele ʻehā i kahi wai nui. ʻOiai ʻaʻohe ala e pale aku ai iā ia a ʻaʻole hiki ke holo pololei ma luna ona no ka nui o ka wai i hāpai ʻia, ua hoʻoholo mākou e piʻi i kekahi o nā paia a hiki i kahi i hiki ai iā mākou ke iho me ka ʻole o nā pilikia. Eia naʻe, ua hala mua, no laila hoʻoholo mākou e hoʻomoana a haʻalele i ka iho no ka lā aʻe. Kāhea mākou i kēia wailele ʻo "Nā pale ʻehā" ma muli o kona ʻano.
I ka lā aʻe, ua iho māua ʻo Luis Guzmán ma lalo o ka paia ʻākau o ke kahawai, e wehe ana i kahi ala e hiki ai iā mākou ke pale maʻalahi i ka wailele. Mai lalo o ka lele i nānā aku ai a hoʻokumu i kahi wai nui. He nani a nani loa ia wahi e kū nei i nā kahakai o Baja Kaleponi.
Ke hoʻomau nei mākou i ka iho ʻana a ma hope ua hiki mākou i kahi wailele ʻē aʻe kahi e pono ai e hoʻokomo i kahi kaula ʻē aʻe ma kahi o 15 m. Kāhea mākou i kēia ʻāpana ʻo "Collapse II", ʻoiai he huahana ia o ka hāʻule kahiko, a ua ālai nā pōhaku i ke kahawai e piʻi ai ka wai o ke kahawai a nalo i mau manawa ma waena o nā āpau. Aia ma lalo kahi wai nui a nani a mākou i kapa aku ai i ka inoa ʻo "Cascada de Adán" no ka mea ʻaʻohe lole o Chuy Ibarra a ʻauʻau maikaʻi i loko.
Ma hope o ka hoʻomaha a me ka hauʻoli me kēia pūnaewele mamao, hoʻomau mākou i ka iho ʻana ma waena o nā pōhaku, nā loko, nā kahawai, a me nā wailele pōkole. Ma hope koke o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hele wāwae ʻana ma kahi ʻano kaʻe a hoʻomaka ke kahawai e noho i lalo, no laila pono mākou e ʻimi i kahi e iho ai, a loaʻa iā mākou ma o ka paia nani me kahi kulu kū i 25 m paha. Ma lalo o kēia koʻokoʻo, kahe kahe kahe o ke kahawai ma luna o kahi papa maʻa ma nā ʻano nani a laulā. Kāhea mākou i kēia wahi "El Lavadero", no ka mea, manaʻo mākou he manaʻo e holoi lole ma ke kālai ʻana iā lākou ma ka pōhaku. Ma hope o ka Lavadero, ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi āpau he 5 m, ʻo ia nō kahi lima e pale ai i kahi ala paʻakikī me ka palekana nui aʻe. Ma lalo o kēia hoʻomoana mākou i kahi one maikaʻi.
I ka lā aʻe ua ala mākou i ka hola 6:30 A.M. a hoʻomau mākou i ka iho. Ma kahi mamao aku ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi lāʻau liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe ma kahi o 4 m a ua hoʻokuʻu koke mākou iā ia. Ma hope ua hiki mākou i kahi wailele nani e pili ana iā 12 a 15 m paha ke kiʻekiʻe i hāʻule i loko o kahi loko wai maikaʻi. Ua hoʻāʻo mākou e iho i ka ʻaoʻao hema, akā ua alakaʻi pololei kēlā kī iā mākou i ka loko wai, kahi e nānā hohonu ana, no laila ua ʻimi mākou i kahi koho ʻē aʻe. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau loaʻa iā mākou kahi pana hou aʻe, a mahele mākou i ʻelua mau ʻāpana e hōʻalo i ka hōʻea ʻana i ka wai. ʻO ka ʻāpana mua he 10 m o ka hāʻule ʻana i kahi kaʻe hōʻoluʻolu, a ʻo ka lua he 15 m i kekahi o nā kapa o ka loko wai. He pōhaku nui ko ka wailele ma ka waena e hoʻokaʻawale ana i ka wai i ʻelua mau wana a no kēia mea ua kapa mākou i ka inoa ʻo "Waterfall Twin".
Ma hope koke o ka loko wai ʻo Twin House, hoʻomaka kekahi wailele ʻē aʻe, a mākou i manaʻo ai he 50 m mau kulu. ʻAʻole hiki iā mākou ke iho pololei iā ia, pono mākou e hana i nā hele a piʻi i luna e pale aku iā ia. Eia naʻe, ua pau ke kaula uila a hoʻopau ʻia kā mākou holomua. Ua ʻike mākou ma lalo o kēia wailele hope he ʻelua mau mea hou aʻe, nui kekahi, a aia ma lalo loa o ke awāwa e wili nei i kāna iho vertiginous, a ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke ʻike ma ʻō aku, ua ʻike mākou he kūleʻa loa ia.
Ua hauʻoli loa mākou i ka hopena o kēia ʻimi, a ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka hoʻihoʻi ua hoʻomaka mākou e hoʻonohonoho i ka komo aʻe. Ua hoʻi mālie mākou i ke kiʻi ʻana i ke kaula uila a me nā pono hana, a i ko mākou hoʻolālā ʻana e hoʻi koke, waiho mākou iā ia e hūnā i loko o nā ana he nui ma ke ala.
KE KUMU EKOLU
Ma ʻOkakopa aʻe ua hoʻi mākou: ʻo mākou ʻo Pablo Medina, Angélica de León, José Luis Soto, Renato Mascorro, Esteban Luviano, Jesús Ibarra a me ka mea nāna i kākau i kēia. Ma waho aʻe o nā pono hana a mākou i haʻalele ai, ua hali mākou i 200 m ke kaula uila hou a me nā meaʻai no kahi o 15 mau lā. Ua hoʻokau ʻia kā mākou mau ʻeke i luna a ʻo ka pilikia me kēia wahi ʻino a hiki ʻole ke kiʻi ʻia ʻaʻohe koho o kekahi e hoʻohana i nā hoki a i nā hoki.
Ua hala ma kahi o ʻelima mau lā e hiki ai i kahi hope loa o ka mākaʻikaʻi mua, a ʻaʻole like me ka manawa hope loa i ka haʻalele ʻana i nā kaula, i kēia manawa ke ʻohi nei mākou iā lākou, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻi i ke ala a mākou i hele mai ai. Eia naʻe, ua hilinaʻi mākou i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka huakaʻi, ʻoiai mākou e helu ai i ka mākaʻikaʻi mua ua hoʻopau mākou i 80% o ka huakaʻi. Hoʻohui ʻia, loaʻa iā mākou he 600 m kaula uea, i ʻae iā mākou e hoʻokaʻawale i ʻekolu mau hui a loaʻa ka mana kū kaʻawale nui aʻe.
Ma ke kakahiaka o ʻOkakopa 24, aia mākou ma luna pono o ka wailele i hiki ʻole iā mākou ke iho i ka manawa i hala. ʻO ka iho ʻana o kēia pana i hōʻike ʻia i kekahi mau pilikia, ʻoiai ʻo ka hāʻule ma kahi o 60 m a ʻaʻole i iho i lalo i luna o ke ala, akā no ka nui o ka wai a e iho nui ana ʻo ia ka makaʻu ke hoʻāʻo e iho i laila a koho mākou e ʻike i kahi ala palekana. . 15 m i loko o ka iho, ua piʻi iki mākou ma ka paia e hoʻohuli i ke kaula uila mai ka wailele a kau hou i luna ma luna o kahi kahawai. 10 m ma lalo loa a hiki mākou i kahi lepa kahi i mānoanoa ai nā mea kanu a lilo ia i mea paʻakikī i kā mākou maneuvers. Ma mua o kēlā ʻāpana i iho ai mākou ma kahi o 30 m a ma hope, mai kahi pōhaku nui, iho mākou i 5 m hou aʻe a hele mākou i kahi ʻāpana pōhaku nui mai kahi a mākou e ʻike ai, kahi mamao aku a ma lalo loa hoʻi, ka hui o ke kahawai Chorro me ke kahawai ʻo San Antonio. , ʻo ia ka hopena o ke kahawai. I ka hopena o kēia hāʻule, a mākou i kapa aku ai "del Fauno", aia kahi wai maikaʻi a ma kahi o 8 mau m ma mua o ka hiki ʻana i laila, hele ka wai ma lalo o kahi pōhaku nui e hāʻawi ana i ka manaʻo e puka mai ke kahawai mai ka pōhaku.
Ma hope o ka "Cascada del Fauno", ʻike mākou i kahi wahi liʻiliʻi akā nani o nā rapids a mākou e bapetizo ai ma ke ʻano "Lavadero II", a laila kahi wailele liʻiliʻi, me kahi kulu e pili ana i 6 m. I ka manawa koke i hele mai kekahi mau rapids a mai iā lākou ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi wailele nui, kahi hiki ʻole iā mākou ke ʻike maikaʻi i kēlā lā no ka mea ua hala, akā ua helu mākou e hele ia ma waho o 5o m o ka hāʻule manuahi. Ua bapetizo mākou i kēia me ka "Star Waterfall" no ka mea a hiki i kēlā manawa ʻo ia ka mea nani loa o nā mea āpau a mākou i ʻike ai.
Ma ʻOkakopa 25 ua hoʻoholo mākou e hoʻomaha, ua ala mākou a 11 i ke kakahiaka a hele e ʻike i ka hāʻule. I ke kukui maikaʻi hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i ka hāʻule ʻana o ka "Cascada Estrella" o 60 m.

Mai laila aku ua hoʻomau mākou i ka mea kaua me kahi kaula ʻē aʻe, eia naʻe, ʻaʻole mākou i helu pono i ka lōʻihi a ua hoʻomaha ʻia he mau mika mai ka lalo, no laila ua iho ʻo Pablo i kahi aʻu i hāʻawi ai iaʻu i kahi kaula lōʻihi, a hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopau i ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi. ʻO ka paia o ka "Star Waterfall" uhi nui ʻia e kahi kumulāʻau nunui e hoʻonui ai i kona nani. Hāʻule ka wailele i loko o kahi loko wai nani loa ma kahi o 25 m ke anawaena, a mai laila aʻe kahi wailele ʻo 10 m paha o ka hāʻule manuahi ʻana i kū aʻe ai, akā ʻoiai makemake mākou i ka "Star Waterfall" me kāna puna wai nui, ua hoʻoholo mākou e noho ma laila i ke koena o ka lā. Aia kahi liʻiliʻi ma aneʻi no ka hoʻomoana, eia naʻe, ua ʻike mākou i kahi papa pōhaku ʻoluʻolu a ʻohiʻohi wahie mai ka wahie maloʻo e holoi i ke kahe ʻana o ke kahawai a paʻa i nā kaʻe o nā pōhaku a me nā lāʻau.

I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka pō i hōʻike ʻia nā hōkū i ka piha a hiki iā mākou ke hoʻokaʻawale maikaʻi loa i ke ala waiū. Ua like wau me he moku nui e hele ana i ke ao holoʻokoʻa.
Ma ka lā 26 ala mākou i kakahiaka nui a hoʻohaʻahaʻa koke i ke kikoo i hōʻike ʻia aʻe i hōʻike ʻole i nā pilikia nui. Ma lalo o kēia kulu he ʻelua hiki ke hiki iā mākou ke iho mai: ma ka hema ua pōkole ia, akā e komo mākou i kahi ʻāpana a ua hele a ʻākī a hohonu ka hohonu, a makaʻu wau e hele pololei mākou i kahi o nā wailele a me nā loko, i mea e paʻakikī ai hoʻoliʻiliʻi.

Ke iho nei i kēia hāʻule a hala mākou i ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ke kahawai a ma kahi pāpale nunui a weliweli hoʻi mākou i hana ai i ka pana aʻe he kulu 25 m a alakaʻi i kahi ʻē aʻe.

Ma ka ʻaoʻao o kēia pana he nui nā mea kanu i mea paʻakikī iā mākou e hoʻokele, a pono mākou e hakakā i nā kumu waina no nā mea kaua i ka mea aʻe.
Ua lōʻihi ka nānā ʻana o ka pana hope loa. No ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana ua hoʻohana mākou i nā kaula ʻekolu a mākou i waiho ai, a aneane ʻaʻole i hiki iā mākou. ʻO ka ʻāpana mua o ka iho ʻana i kahi ʻaoʻao liʻiliʻi kahi i kau ai mākou i kekahi kaula uwea i waiho iā mākou ma kahi ʻaoʻao ākea, akā uhi paʻa ʻia me nā mea kanu; ʻAʻole ia i ʻoi aku a ʻaʻole i emi iki ma mua o kahi ululāʻau liʻiliʻi i mea paʻakikī iā mākou e hoʻonohonoho i ka hapa hope o ka pana.
