Joel, having a good time. Joel was the only one who chose not to wear a dry suit in favor of a seal-like 13mm of neoprene covering his core, and 6-7 mm on his extremities. His strategy may have been the more prudent one for a summer descent of Kolob, for he was able to pare down his wet suit by layer in the warmer sections we would encounter later, while we would just dump buckets of sweat from our pores into bacteria-loving capilene and polypro. This resulting in quite unpleasant odors wafting past our noses as the air trapped in our dry suits got "burped" out of the neck gasket every time we waded into deep water. Joel, on the other hand, reminded us that his wetsuit afforded him the option to urinate on himself for extra warmth.
