Stafford Creek Canyoneer 5-19-19

Stafford Creek – 7th or 8th time on this creek….always a fun time.
I counted 8-new bolts to keep you in the flow and off the vegetation…very nicely placed…especially on Pete’s Pothole, and the last, Dipper Falls. The flow was perfect for an enjoyable day out.
Sunday’s team…Keith, Kevin, Sean, myself and my lovely wife Deb. It was also Deb’s first time back in the creek since her foot surgery (9-months ago).

Load it up!

Rap 1…

No more PITA log on Meat Anchor Falls…

Keith on Rap 3…

Most of us know how Pete’s Pothole Falls got its name…

Maybe we should call this one…

…Sean’s Pothole Falls 🙂

Dipper on a log…

Deb on Rap 4…

New bolts on Rap 5 (Pete’s Pothole Falls)…Nice line, keeps you in the middle of the flow…

Kevin on Pete’s Pothole…

Sean on Pete’s Pothole…Check out the pull rope. Never gonna pull a biner through that V. Nice rescue Sean 🙂

Wow, new bolts on Rap 6 too…Fine placement!

Deb on Rap 6…

Sean on Rap 6…

New bolts on rap 7…No more scraping moss 🙂

Karl on rap 7…

Deb on Rap 8…

Always love this view…top of rap 9, Stafford Falls.

Deb’s in there somewhere…

Deb emerges, after being jack-hammered with thousands of pounds of water 🙂

Again with the new bolts! These are obviously to encourage one to rap the DCR flow, and not the DCL flow, where the active Dipper nest is. Well done bolt-setter!

Deb on Rap 10, Dipper Falls…

…and last one of the day. Fun Shit!!
