Trip report URL:
Comments: 2nd descent with two people exactly one month after the first descent. We added 8 bolts in the canyon, including brand new bolts at R1 and R2, a single bolt at R3, and a traverse line anchor at R4. Only R3 and R6 still have single bolts. Flow was noticeably lower than the month prior (maybe 30-40%). We attempted the approach the day prior but disturbed a wasp's nest in the forest, resulting in over 10 stings to one team member, so we turned back out of caution and returned the next day for a successful full second descent.

Comment: A great day out for the first documented descent of this creek. A beautiful route with stunning deep pools! We easily made it car to car in 6 hours with a group of 4 even while installing anchors and playing around in the water. Flow was moderate high. Most groups will likely find this route friendliest starting in mid to late July.
