Going through on Saturday. Do these canyons ever get enough water to worry about? Thanks.
To clarify...do they get enough water to worry about suiting up?
I recently went through DED about 3 weeks ago, no wetsuit necessary. Doesn't look like DED would hold much water at all. There was a couple of wades about knee deep through some mucky water. It had rained about a week beforeand most of the rappels had nasty mud at the bottom that was enough to make a big mess of the ropes.
If you haven't done birch I would recommend that instead. Used Bluegnomes approach but think Tom Jones can't be any worse and is likely better.
Thank you CanyonFreak. Very helpful.
How did your trip go, Shaggy? I encountered sticky mud in DED in early Aug which completely coated my ropes despite all efforts to limit it. MM was a treat.
