Choprock 2016
Has anyone done Choprock recently? We are planning on doing it 4/22/16. I would just be interested in how it went.

As of 4/2/16 it was at very low water levels without any major obstacles. Some swims but not the typical. The narrow part that can make it problematic was low and a wade through the Bombay section. I took my parents through neon that day but my partner took some other friends through chop and that is his report.
They wore 4/3 fulls with shortys, neo socks and gloves and were comfortable. Most the canyons in that area were very low or completely dry. They did the sneak so not sure of the status of the upper. Enjoy

Thanks for the great info CanyonFreak hopefully the weather is good next week. NOAA said it snowed in Escalante today.

Update from 4/14/2016: same as he said. A couple of long swims in there, but otherwise pretty mellow. I wore a Capilene midweight top under my 4/3 wetsuit and that was a good comfort level. Cold after the long swims, but otherwise mostly comfortable.

Thanks Tom for the update. This will be my first time to Choprock and im getting really excited. I get cold pretty easy so ill probably still need my full 5mm with a 2.5 vest and a load of gas station fire wood. Jk on the fire wood.
Did you happen to see or here about Raven or HH while you were there?
