Had a great time in the squeeze yesterday. Muddy Creek is about waste deep right now and the current is very strong. The hike in from Hidden Splendor required about 20 stream crossings. It was also pretty obvious that the area received a considerable amount of rain the day before. We had a nice non-threatening cloud cover during he hike in and throughout most of the canyon. The canyon was completely full of water and I was able to swim out of all the keepers up until the very end. The last 3 or 4 potholes are dry and one required about an 8' climb out. The static line which crossed over one of the keepers is also gone but is not necessary with the current water levels. The two of us were out by 4pm and the cloud cover was gone so we made the long hike out in 96 deg. weather.
