Imlay Conditions?
Anybody been, anybody planning on going in the next three weeks or so? Thinking about going the first part of May? Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
Mark

We also have a first of May trip planned.
We did Pine Creek yesterday. More water than I've ever seen in it and it was a little chilly.
Had friends do Mystery and Spry recently. Full of water but no snow or ice.
I would guess that Imlay is the same. Completey full of really cold water

I’ll be down in Zion this weekend doing another round of Mystery this year so I will ask around for Imlay conditions at ZAC and the backcountry desk.

I asked the backcountry desk last weekend for any information for Imlay and they said a few groups have done it but are not aware of any conditions.
Their best guess was to “plan for log soups and escaping from a lot of the potholes”.

I was in there on Friday. We made it to the crossroads before two team members blew leg gaskets on their dry suits and we decided to bail, however, from what we could tell it was pretty low water. Most of the pot holes before that had wanter about half way to the normal water line. Don't know for sure what the dark sections looked like, but my hunch was we were in for some good keepers.

My wetsuit doesn't blow many gaskets.
I still havn't ever convinced myself to buy a drysuit. Too big of consequences if there is a failure for me.

Duct tape will easily fix just about any dry suit problem until you have time to make a proper repair. I also carry a bicycle tube patch kit for any minor repair. You should already be carrying several feet of duct tape in your possibles bag and/or first aid kit as it's arguably the most versatile emergency item you can carry.

Rained hard in STG also. Couldn't even see Zion for a while. It would be hard to imagine that as hard as it rained that everything isnt completely full

I agree. I've been to canyons after an area got lots of rain, and it didn't fill up. Sometimes not even close. And I also agree with the uncharacteristically simple and civil reply of Tom's, without the lecture. Is everything alright, Tom?
Just kidding, just kidding. :-)

For sure. Just stating an opinion based upon how much rain that I seen come down. Streets were flooded. One of the hardest rain storms that I've seen happen here and it rained like that for 1.5 hours and on and off for 2 days.
I would like to think that it's obvious to take the things that you need unless you have first hand recent confirmation on anything
