We are planning a trip down there soon also if you wouldn't mind posting back up after your trip. Thx

We were planning on doing it Saturday, but it looks like we've changed our plans since we need to start a 17 pitch climb at midnight Sunday morning. I would love to hear about the conditions after you do it on Sunday since it is on my list of canyons to do in the coming weekends.

Just posted a new Candition:


Three of us took 9 hours using a shuttle to the top of Rocky Gap Rd. No flow (or only a trickle at some spots) but the pools were still cold and clear; that shouldn't last too much longer now that the days are getting hotter.

Upper section had full pools and was cold. I wore a 5mm and was comfortable. Friends wore 4/3s and didn't have a problem tolerating it.

Lower section had full pools and was much warmer. 5mm was overkill and the 4/3s were even too much. We all agreed that a 4/3 was probably the best wetsuit for the given conditions.

Last rap had a very small trickle.
