Comments: The low water (12 cfs) for this time of year made for some great opportunities. We were able to be the first group to rappel into the final waterfall. We also found an additional hallway above the final fall that can be rappelled off a rock into the watercourse, or also carefully stemmed. (There is an alternate jump into the pool below, or the traditional walk around). Anthony was very kind to slow us as much freedom as we wanted to play and create technical elements to challenge.

Comment: Water was at least 10F degrees greater than Tank and most of the canyon is sunny making it much warmer. Water flow was low enough that jumping (on rope) across the flow on R1 was not needed, but good practice and fun anyway. We rigged a hand line from a single glue-in bolt RDC before the corridor which helped getting to the submerged footing RDC beyond the lip (above siphon). We spent an hour getting everyone down the corridor, stemming down to the pool below; most did arms to feet stem, I did wide leg split stem. Note: LMAR needs to pull hand line from top of 10 foot fall in the corridor (just beyond siphon), because excess rope hanging over the 10 foot fall will create too much rope drag, and the rope end may get sucked down the siphon. Cibecue took 5.5 hours, 10.5 hours included Tank and Cibecue.

Comment: We did the canyon by hiking up from the bottom, bypassing around the falls then descending back down through the watercourse. Water flow was around 12 CFS and everyone thought it was perfect.
