Comments: Anchors in good condition. Log across pool under the diving board is now gone…new log in R5 really prevents the jump just DCL of the falls. Current conditions are very high, a lot of white water and pushy currents in the pools. Avoided R6 DCL pothole as it looked doable, or survivable but getting inverted or being pushed down rope fast at the pour over represented a lot of risk, so easier, safer option was the tree DCR. Water is also quite cold!

    Comment: Very high flow right now, all swims have consequences in this flow but 2 of them are def MUST make swims. Anchors are in great shape, however webbing on R2 is not installed yet as it’s nearly impossible to reach, can rap off big tree DCR right on the edge. R5 is currently a death trap…rappelling down the chute will lead you to an easy jump on the DCR side of the falls but escaping this pool will be nearly impossible…jumping is also not an option as there are now 3 logs just where the falls hit the water. Down climbing DCL and then shallow jump straight down hugging the rocks DCL is the safest option currently. Final rap, is a must either center falls or DCR, going DCL currently is prob very high risk! I wish I took a photo but the pothole has water crashing over like a wave!

    Comment: The water keeps dropping in Pin. It looks like water in the pool before R1 might be draining out through a new syphon. I usually swim this pool but could tiptoe across today. The creek is really slippery with some raps being hip slide only for less experienced canyoneers.

    Comment: Fun as always. Measured the height of the diving board. Some will be disappointed to learn that it is a 'mere' 25' from the top of the log to the water line. Does not in any way take away from how fun this jump is!

    Comment: Water is low but most jumps are still in. Skip the jump at R5 (in the beta). Anchors are all still super solid. R6 is great right now for new canyoneers. Getting over the lip of the last rappel is safe but heady for inexperienced people. The creek walk out is almost totally dry.

    Comment: Water levels are dropping. I would avoid jumping R2 at this time. R1, R3, R4 (diving board) and R5 jumps are still doable. R6 is in good, splashy conditions for newer canyoneers.

    Comment: Great canyon, just wish it was longer. R2 can now be jumped from a fallen tree that acts as a diving board in the middle of the falls. Have at least one person rap and check depth, naturally.

    Comment: Flow is in fun mode!! All jumps are good…nothing new in the pools near the landing zones. R2 webbing for inflow was MIA and I didn’t have any QL’s so rigged a retrievable there. The last rap in current flow is super duper fun. Also I think a new log sticking up on the last R…looks like if needed could be pulled out away from the falls but not really in the way just an eye sore.

    Comment: What's not to love? We took our time and splashed around in the pools. Lovely day out, very mellow and beautiful creek. Minimal haze from wildfire on Mt. Adams.

    Comment: Great canyon for a sunny day. Spent a lot of time just enjoying ourselves at the diving board playing around, setting up a rope swing and relaxing in the sun, hence the long run time.

    Comment: Fun time, most jumps were plenty deep. Did a few diving board laps before getting out of the way of the next group coming through. Jumped from middle of first rap and the 2 other mandatory raps, otherwise everything was easily jump able

    Comment: The hanger has been replaced on the DCL anchor on rap 4 into the Punchbowl.

    The mid-creek boulder on rap 6 is gone and has been replaced by a cairn.
