Imlay Sneak Sept. 22, 2013
Ilze and I had imlay on our wishlist...now to find others to join. in the end Michael Cook and Shane Holst joined us. Started at 0430 at the grotto trailhead, waited for better light at the turnoff to left sneak. Left sneak was easy. Had a nice long break at the crossroads. Entered the technical section at 1030 am and were at the narrows rap by 1530. Imlay was top full...big bertha was elusive, lots of swimming, rapping, bellyflopping, climbing over logs to exit potholes and one swim through a log soup. The first section took 3 hours, the exit narrows 1.5 hrs. We lost a ropebag and rope there... it sank after being bagged... tried to dive down to find but water too murky. Imlay was "warm" relatively speaking. Michael only had two shorties plus my fleecepants and extra wool socks we insisted he wear and he was ok... just a little cool at the end. Ilze and I were sweltering in our neoprene...( 4/3 + 2mm shorty + hoodie ) ....no icebergs around ! Thank you Ilze, Shane and Michael for a most wonderful romp in Imlay !

We are headed there Friday (weather permitting) so we'll have to keep an eye out for your rope! You say you lost it in the one and only log soup?

Some of the webbing should be changed, ( but I am primarily a mountaineer and hitting rocks hurts) but with high water levels consequences are minimal

I was hiking down the Virgin River from Chamberlin Ranch on Sept 22 and had the pleasure of turning a corner at about 4PM to see this very strong looking group touch down from the last Rap in to the Virgin River. Sorry I did have the camera out. Nice to run into you folks. My partner and I did the sneak at the end of May. Our water conditions were low. How low? So low that I don't think there was any water at the bottom of the arch rap.
Here is my trip report for that trip: http://www.bogley.com/forum/showthread.php?68776-From-the-Subway-to-Imlay-Trip-Report-and-Reflections-of-a-Fledgling-Canyoneer
Good job!
