Comment: Approach: The hike is short and dry. The approach scramble from the base of the falls is well worn and obvious to follow. Once at the apex you scramble down to the watercourse and, at this point, it becomes very loose and it is easy to knock sizeable rocks down on one another--so take care on this section.

Anchors: The is a single bolt on the LDC, but there is also a tree slung with webbing RDC. The webbing is in good shape and was set up as a proper wrap 2, pull 1. The second rap is LDC and consists of two bolts on a chain. It is solid and in good condition. (The first rap can be skipped if you want to down climb to the second anchor)

Flow: The water level is very low--disappointingly low if you're looking for a class C adventure--as it is slightly above a trickle. We brought wetsuits (mostly hoping to try out some new ones) but didn't even put them on. We got a little wet by staying in the watercourse but we were kind of trying to get wet at that point.

The moss is slick and wet but there is bare rock in places that have good traction. In some of the wet mossy sections wasps are congregating but there moved aside as we came through.
