Comments: Replaced all webbing and rebuilt all anchors. Cairn was washed away at the back-to-back rap sequence. Established a pinch / rock chock anchor about 90' down from R2 on a small 2-3 person shelf. Did another 2-stage <100' rap from here (R3), and downclimbed the last few drops in this sequence with ease. Water was fairly cold in the deeper pools but we were very comfortable in 4/3 neoprene. Air temps were nearly 90 degrees. Any hotter and I'd consider this one out of season due to the long and exposed approach.

Comment: Did it in 4 raps. For the "big" rap sequence, we rapped down to the sandy 2nd stage, where we found nice fresh webbing on a cairn anchor in the pool to get us down the next drop. We downclimbed the final drop. webbing was all good, though we set an anchor at the final drop because it just seemed too slippery and dangerous to downclimb in the flow. No sun in the canyon but water was not too cold from the recent rains.

Comment: No real flow, many of the pools were dry. We were bummed how dry it was until we did the one unavoidable swim and experienced how incredibly cold the water was, then we were glad. One short swim - anchors in good shape. Still a pretty canyon even without flow, much better with flow.
