Anyone seen conditions in High Spur or Maidenwater Creek this summer?
Hi,
I may be a week or 2 early asking as monsoons & floods may not have finished, but at the end of this Sept and early October I planned to go to these two.
On High Spur just wondered if anyone knew how much water there is and how cold. Most reports and videos don't really seem to show water, but one outfitter a few years ago recommended wetsuits saying there could be bitterly cold pools by early October.
I've never read anyone's report on Maidenwater Creek from the highway down to Trachyte Creek except Kelsey's. Has anyone done this - wondered if there's much water to deal with and if there's any tricky downclimbs or any ropework for someone who is too novice to take much risk if not with anyone with more experience. From Kelsey's description I wasn't expecting any rappels & was hoping the only thing I'd need is a precautionary rope just in case
Thanks , Ross.
