Praying Hands via Jacob's Cross-cut and Treasure loop

[tracker]

1/1/2003. My wife and I do a hike every new years day. We started at 10am from the JCC TH 1/2 mile in from AZ88. I love that first part of JCC. Great cactus and very pretty. A lot of people were coming up from Lost Dutchman SP via Treasure Loop. We decided to take the use trail to the Praying hands and a rappelling (sp?) group was coming down from the top. Check out our website for pictures. http://members.cox.net/azbackpack

That was my group you saw rappelling down from the Hand. It's a pretty scary climb, especially with your belayer saying 'I think you missed a bolt, guy, you're an awful long way above the last one'. That'll get you praying.

Cool! We didnt even notice you guys at first. I kept hearing voices, but my wife was saying that I was losing it. When we got up there I saw the backpacks at the base, the rope and then somebodys head popped out at the top.
