Good Day Jim/ Seven Mile Canyon condition report, WET!!

[RockRapture]

We went down Good Day Jim around the 2nd of May and were surprised by how wet and muddy it was. There had been no major weather that we were aware of but we must have been wrong because it was constant water all the way through and there were several full on swims/deep wades. The 11 ft keeper pothole was in the most interesting of conditions having about 9 ft of water in it, we ended up bypassing it to the right with two potshots, some fancy rope work, and a couple of slopey climbing moves (see pic).

Fun canyon that took us about 6 hrs as was, I think it would go in less than half that in dry conditions. Despite having only short rappels a full 70m rope and then some would have been a plus due to submerged dead man anchor points.
We were going to do Hard Day Harvey the next day but decided to pass until later assuming it was in similar conditions. The ambient temp was low and we boat camping and therefore had brought light gear (i.e. no wetsuits).
