Comments: Its clear no one has been here in years. Found two pieces of very old webbing. We only did the upper canyon - to the base of Old Spur Falls. We did it in 4 rappels and a few downclimbs. Above the technical section, there is a LOT of wood. Once you get into the technical section, the canyon is quite beautiful. Water is incredibly low throughout the state right now, and in low conditions, the canyon is a3 - definitely not a4. Benign with relatively short rappels... but also with some good exposure to get to some of the rappels. All in all a fun day!

Comment: We ran upper and lower. Lower is a much different beast - very deep canyon walls with much higher flow. The flow seemed to be about double what it was in upper. The 250ft waterfall is one of the tallest vertical falls in WA and features a severe roostertail that blasts horizontally out about 2/3 down. The 2nd tier of the big fall rappel has a huge curtain to duck under and a behind the veil rappel. The downclimbing from the last rappel to the hike out is some of the best in WA. I would give the upper 3-star and the lower 5-star.
