Comments: Nice short canyon nearby to the Bay. Basically no water despite the week of rain end the previous ~ Wednesday. Bushwhacking was not too bad. A little bit of a slog on the way out, no banana. CEM'd the first rappel and a rather large log came with it, fiddled the rest with no further excitement. The first rappel has a quite large unstable rock directly in the path of the rope, careful!

    Comment: Scoped this canyon before this trip, shortly after the storms earlier in the year. This report is for the first descent of the canyon. The approach and exit involved a bit of bushwhacking and side-hilling, but nothing too crazy.

    Ghosting anchors was pretty easy. Water flow definitely had reduced since the initial scouting trip. But, due to all the rain, we still had some playful flow that made the waterfalls fun and wetsuits handy throughout. No water hazards or deep pools were observed.
