Trip reports and media

Thanks to Doug Scott for putting this one on the radar. He marks 7 waterfalls on his "Enhanced USGS topo map" on his site http://www.dougscottart.com/hobbies/waterfalls/TreasureCr.htm.

First known descent 9/6/2016 by Wayne Herrick and Logan DeGrand. Of the 7 waterfalls, we rappelled 2 and down-climbed the others. In higher flow will be more required rappels.
