We just finished Imlay Sneak on the afternoon of 4/14. We got a real late start on Saturday and decided to camp inside on saturday night. The approach was fine. The first canyoneering section was fine with the exception of a really weird overhanging log jam we had to beat through.

Both extreme narrow sections were really full and only a couple potholes required partner assists and pack tosses. We hooked out of one just because we had hooks and it was faster than pack tossing. The webbing on most of the anchors looked decent and we didn't replace anything.

The trip took about 11 hours from shuttle to shuttle, and only took that long because we spent a bunch of time hanging out in the narrows. The high water level really makes this canyon breezy.

Equipment:
Dry suits.
A couple of hooks.
2x 200 foot ropes.
2x potshot.
A bunch of webbing.

Have fun.
