Comment: Camped at a great wide slab above a falls just before the "Kayaker Campsite". Day 2 was an easy wide creek walk (for creek walks, practically a highway!) after an adventure-packed Day 1. Used the Bed Springs trail exit, which wasn't that bad after a short steep climb off the creek. A rap down a huge (house+) boulder choke early in the canyon was a highlight. A disappointing section followed: the biggest series of cascades in the canyon which we walked/climbed around DCL.
  • Daniel's note: Lower section creek hop on day 2 was not bad. Would repeat it this way. The only downside is the extremely long shuttle.

Comment: WHO REMOVED SOME OF THE PERFECTLY GOOD BOLTS?? ON RAP #2, A GOOD BOLT WAS REMOVED, LEAVING ONLY A SINGLE 30 YEAR OLD BOLT. ANOTHER BOLT WAS ALSO REMOVED FROM RAP #5.

Comment: Went through a variation of Ross Creek Exit, going up Turtle Creek until the top of the slabs before cutting across to Ross Creek through a short section of manzanita. Then followed the faint kayaker's trail up the ridge back up to Ross Crossing Road between Ross Creek and Turtle Creek.
