Comments: Big falls is pumping. We ran it twice, dropping in for the last rap the second time. Snow in the upper section of the canyon presents some challenges, easy enough for us maybe intimidating for others. Final rap bolts are in good shape, webbing was sun bleached to hell and we replaced it. I noticed on the second run that I didn’t equalize it perfectly, someone might want to fix that.

Comment: A good amount of water was flowing from the meadow into the technical section of the canyon, however no water was making it down to the potholes, they were stagnant. The weather on the way up was warm, but not unpleasant. All rappels are bolted and in good condition, no webbing to replace even. I didn't see (or have any) pull issues on the 180 (The guidebook suggested there might have been some)
