| Welcome! Canyons in the Pacific Northwest can be different from those you might be used to. Be ready for unlinked bolts, retrievable traverse lines, and challenging aquatic environments. For more on local practices, and the best way to get started in the region, check out the WCC Safety page.
- Unlinked Bolts - groups should be comfortable rigging unlinked bolts, either temporarily linking them for all but the last person, or using a passive redundancy method. Most importantly, if you find two bolts side by side that are unlinked, do not add webbing to them. Linking bolts designed to be unlinked will likely cause damage during seasonal floods.
- Traverse Lines - many canyons are rigged to allow traverse line access to an exposed anchor station. This should be done using self-belay or team belay techniques. Do not leave fixed lines in the canyons.
- Challenging Environments - the highly aquatic nature of PNW canyons can surprise many. Cold temperatures, slippery rocks, loud waterfalls, and strong currents all lead to unexpected problems. Do not underestimate the need for strong team work and technical proficiency. Belays are frequently not possible. Unattended gear will sink or float away. Sliding and jumping is the cause of most major injuries, so it's critical to effectively communicating water depth & submerged hazards.

Introduction[edit]
2 large undercut waterfalls over 100' tall. Trees grow behind the amphitheater of the first one the space is so large.
Approach[edit]
From NF-202 find the small turnoff on the right which is an old over grown road. Park at the beginning of the road and use the road to get close to the waterfall.
Descent[edit]
No trees are near the edges of the waterfalls. Bolts would be great to have installed here (but none exist currently). Use trees or whatever you can find to rappel down.
Hike DCL up steep loose rock and traverse the base of the cliff as shown on the map. There is a steep climb up a gully before you reach the top of the hill. Possible exit down river with a shuttle.
