Introduction
Approach
Enter the drainage and follow the watercourse to the first rappel.
Descent
Five bolted rappels under 50’ and multiple deep pools that may be avoidable depending on water levels and downclimbing ability.
Using both bolts on double bolted anchors can likely cause some pull issues. Using single bolts or retrievable anchors may help prevent said issues.
Exit
Follow First Water Creek to the exit drainage and pick up a well traveled social trail that meanders back up to the 88. Walk the road a short distance back to your vehicle.
If you happen to have a second vehicle, this short stretch of road could be shuttled.
