Imlay, July 16 - Page 3

This was my first time going direct to the Alcove. A bit more routefinding
than I had been lead to believe, but no big deal. Photo James Burr

Inside the bowels of Imlay. It's dark in there, so I don't have many pictures
from inside the canyon.

A big moth dropped in on us at the rest break. Too hot for it?
 

Hanging out at the rest break, between sections of 'extreme narrows'. It was so warm, we hung out in the shade.

Did the lower section, including a nice packtoss on one pothole. The canyon was in really good shape - cold, clean water filled most of the potholes, and swim-assisted beached-whale moves were (with the addition of one pack toss) the order of the day. Near the end of the second narrows, a log had washed out, making for an interesting log climb out of a deep, unfilled pothole. A pack toss and guided rappel could easily bypass this difficult climb out, but Chris wanted to enjoy climbing the giant slimy log, so he did!
