Comments: First descent trip for the second half, plus we added some new stations in the first half, so time includes a fair bit of bolting. Flows were low enough that climbing in some cracks in the full force of water was feasible though challenging, and the wide open rappels were pretty straightforward. 3mm or less neoprene would have been ideal, 4/3 was overkill.

    Comment: We spent a lot of time problem solving and ended up running out of time halfway through. Flows were too high to make first descents productive since we had to bypass some features which could be tested in lower flows. The big rappel was great though. Water temp was pleasant.
