Maze Undercut


Photo-0060.jpg

The undercut rock at the bottom of Maze has dropped and moved forward. This SHOULD be a positive, especially during release time. Someone would have to swim really, really low just to get under the rock. We hope there's a big pillow there in October.

Topo in Gorge


topo_foreplay1.jpg

James Stapleton and Terry Ratliff attacked the gorge on bright summer day and provided great entertainment for the rest of the crew. The boys ran the meat of every rapid, wiping out gloriously at Tower double boof. The pulled off a must roll just above the main line at Climax and proceeded to somehow stuff the boat through the box move. The level was between 250-300cfs. An fabulous day!
