Comments: No other anchors were found, so likely our visit was a first descent. Pretty action-packed creek without much creek-walking until the bottom. Seemed like a substantial increase in water between top and bottom (possible snow-melt up in the heights). Very cold water. Few snow patches still visible in the upper basin. Had originally planned to run East Fossil too, but one member of our team was getting cold and East Fossil sports a lot more water, so decided to call it a day.
