Our group of seven (7) headed down The Subway on Tuesday, July 3rd. We were excited for the return for those of us where this was a staple trip each time we come out from the East Coast. For those first-timers, it was great watching them enjoy each new around-the-corner site and work with us down each Subway obstacle. The water levels seems just a touch higher that what we had experienced in June '10. We took the opportunity to use the new anchor point on the first boulder obstacle, which went perfectly fine.
As we anxiously arrived at the Bowling Ball Corridor we surveyed the new log jam at the lone bowling ball. As the first one down we saw it would be an easy squeeze through on the left side...

Our group made good, efficient work of the remaining obstacles and enjoyed some time in the potholes and shower room past the last rappel. Unfortunately, this is the spot I believe I lost my black Polarized Oakley Gascans...I went back for a peek in the potholes, etc...but no luck.
The march out was as expected...HOT and tedious, but we took the last dip in the Left Fork of the North Creek prior to ascending out of the canyon. We completed the trip in about 7.5 hrs. Great fun and memories for all!
