Comments: Lovely canyon. R1 and R5 are spectacular. We replaced webbing in several.places, and change the anchor in a couple of spots. Lots of logjam debris to navigate in the canyon. The strainer, siphon and hydraulics aren't of major concern in current conditions.

Comment: Flow was low, no significant dangers or challenges posed by flow. We replaced webbing/quicklink at R4 and took out the cairn anchor that had been built nearby. Also found R6 had been moved to a tree DCL. The road grade hike out is overgrown, full of blow down and washed out in places. Would recommend the float out on the Duckabush option.

Comment: Fun flow today. Hydraulics and siphons currently don’t need to be bypassed.

Replaced about half of the webbing found in canyon.

Comment: New cairn anchor had to be made. Some webbing and links replaced. New and loose wood appears to be everywhere. The exit is very bushwacky and GPS should be used as there is absolutely no trail most the way out. Flow was perfect. Check the anchor on cable at the last rap as it tears through webbing. Super fun.

Comment: Follow the trail to the upper viewpoint with a bench. Follow use trails up behind the bench to gain the ridge. Follow the ridge up until it's relatively easy to traverse back over to the creek. If it looks steep you're in the wrong place. Large crowd of boy scouts cheered us on during the descent of the big falls. Below, creek very slippery in places. No hydraulics or dangerous water movements for us, but could be much more severe in high water. Found a much better exit route along an overgrown logging grade. Two minutes of bushwhacking, followed by an easy 5-10min walk out on the grade, then back up the road to the trailhead. Easy. Beta has been updated.

Comment: R5: rap off the sling on the bouncy steel cable 😈. Rapped the side of the final falls to get a look, ascended back up and exited from there.

Comment: Ran the entire canyon and floated the Duckabush back to the bridge. All anchors looked good. Replaced R1 and another one down canyon.

    Comment: Great flow. Skipped R1&R2 because of crowds. Used the bypass rap on R3, however the hydraulics looked much friendlier from the bottom than they did at the top... would probably rap in the flow if I did this again. We replaced a few anchors, and they are in good shape for most raps. The confluence with the Duckabush was a very pleasant lunch spot. The hike out was steep and overgrown.
