1. I got a race lap first thing Saturday morning at 15".
2. Then we rendezvous'd with the SLU crew, Ben Ford, and Kelly Kasten for a run down from 72. The upper gave no problems and was pretty tame and fun. The SLU crew opted to run the lower, and all manner of things happened. That will have to be another post. Anyway, the day ended up with Ben and I bloodied, swimming, and violently shivering by the time we hit the takeout.
3. Moonlight run with the one and only Chris Ward. Level had come up to a rowdy 35" by around midnight and that run was all kinds of fun. Seeing all the exploding waves in Cat's Paw by moonlight and already quite committed to the rapid was a great thing.
Then, Johnson Shutins!
We hit a lot of skills. Single anchor rappels, single strand rappels via 'biner block, autoblock backups, AND a 3-point hanging belay which we later rappelled from. Short walls at JSI, but very cool location with constant river noise, big rocks, tall pines, and all.
