Is Heap or Imlay full of water after the recent rain?
We did full Imlay a couple weeks ago and while fun (lots of pothole escapes), thinking it would be a blast full of water. Can't find a trip report since the rain this past week to see if either Imlay or Heap are full of water. Anyone heard anything?

I am also interested in this, as we are headed to Imlay on the 23rd
Wetsuit?

Even in low water conditions, there is a section in Imlay that is quite chilly. There are a few people capable of doing the canyon au natural, but not many.
Recent rains will likely have changed the equation. We have had a lot of short rain events, so it is hard to say exactly what the effects are, except that it is likely that at least some rain has hit Imlay and some rain has hit Heaps.

I too, have absolutely no idea what the conditions are in those canyons as well. But I'll be there in a couple weeks so I'll be sure to check this thread to verify that everyone is still clueless.

Heaps and Imlay both have water, probably. If the water is cold, you will want a wetsuit.

So my friends finished in great time and here is what they said:
"the water level is about 2-3 feet from the lip, and it wasn't as fun with the lower water level but it was warmer, and was a little nerve racking with the Thunder above us about 9 raps from the exit, but the hooking was extra nice because all the holes were good, the guided rap and other rope work was fun too. And it was cool to see some other changes in the canyon. The logjams look the same from last year, and the 1st part of the canyon were the logs are are not a problem with low-water."
Btw - they were 3/2 full wetsuits and were fine the whole way through - and the low-water levels didn't make em cold.●Canyoneering 'Canyon Conditions' @ www.candition.com

I'm assuming the previous post was with regards to Imlay, we went through Heaps yesterday and the description does not seem to match up. We found heaps to be fairly full and not too difficult*, but take that with a grain of salt because a) it was our first time through so we had nothing to compare it to and b) we had an experienced group. Maybe it would help to add that some of the bigger keepers had water levels about 4 ft from the lip. All keepers were partner assists except one which we pack tossed. We had a group of 5 with wetsuits from 4/3 full to 3/2 farmer john. All were plenty warm except the 3/2 farmer john who got chilled a couple times. 7 hrs from top to top of last rap.
*Heaps is always difficult (except when it's not). Don't be stupid.
