Comments: Water is getting pretty low but it's still a fun creek. More opportunities to play around in all the grooves on R2. Replaced the anchor on the low flow side of R1 to stay in the flow. Also replaced the anchor around the boulder in the center of the creek on R3.

Comment: Nice day out in 3 corners. R1 and R2 anchors good. R3 wet anchor from boulder in creek was already compromised despite new webbing being put in a few weeks ago - the little loop in the frost knot had a sizeable hole worn into it. Rather than waste another 10 feet of webbing that wont last until the next group we moved the quicklink to the main loop in the webbing and moved the knot to the backside of the boulder. Next group in should inspect this anchor carefully if using.

Comment: We cut the trees and opened the road. R1 we dropped the main waterfall in the flow. There were many many loose rocks we cleaned off and kicked down along the way. Very crumbly basalt. R2 we went DCL at the bottom of the rappel in the rock formation. Right looked a little spicy as most of the flow was dumping in there. R3 we installed webbing on the boulder. Great day in 3CC!

Comment: Looks like the first trip this year. Three trees across the road about 2 miles from the drop in point. A chain saw would fix those pretty quickly. The road walk was easy. Anchors were in good shape except for the last drop. We replaced the webbing on the dry rappel there. Overall a great day at 3 corner!

Comment: Road up is covered by a snowdrift at the bridge before the turnoff for the lower parking. Additionally, there is a large tree down on the road up to the lower parking. Hiked in through lots of drifts but no snow in the creek. Fun day as always.

Comment: Great day with awesome raps. Flow was fun, not too pushy but active. Rapped R2 2x by following goat trail back to top.

Log has been removed from the road.

Comment: Be aware: there's a log down across the road near its end, so you have to park and walk in an extra 0.5mi if you're taking a shuttle. Hike down the road, drop onto the ridge, follow it to its end, and head straight downhill to reach R1. Several core shots have been reported on the main slot -- so this is a good candidate for future bolting - and we may add a redirect further down the slot to keep the rope away from a rope-eating notch (hidden under the water?). Delightful day out. Rigged a guided rappel on R3 just for fun.

Comment: This is a great creek. Short and sweet. Great pay to play if you have a shuttle. I'm trying to figure out how to update the beta to add the shuttle.

    Comment: Good creek for high water. Easy to pick anchors to get as much flow as you want.

    Comment: Had visited the base of the falls by hiking several years previous, but this was likely a first descent. A nice pleasant little canyon outing.
