This was a Mazamas Canyoneering class, field session. Had a great time with a fun group. The water conditions were perfect for these first timers… They all did great.
Entering the drainage…
Sarah is in charge of building the first anchor while others look on…
First meat-anchor…to get down a short drop…
Now the meat-anchor converts to the bottom for the last one down…
Tricky to get past the log which, in a split second, becomes part of the anchor…Fun Shit!
Sarah heading down the first big drop…
Deb finishing Stafford Creek Falls…
