Anybody make it on to Escalante?

How was it? By looking at the various gauges for the gunny, I bet it peaked Friday. Is there anything left? Hope no one went and got skunked.

6 of us got onto it on Friday... It was good, but my opinion was that it was still a bit boney. Overall we had a couple injuries, but the run went well.

One of the crew ran Escalante Falls and styled it quite nicely with an airborne move that banked him off the lower left flat faced rock and gave him a perfect landing. WOW!

Beyond that, the weather was perfect and the canyon is beautiful.

Our Crew of 5 also hit it on Friday. Super Fun run. Drops were all good to go! one lost paddle in 6 inches of water but other than that what a unbelievable place

try to get it if it comes up again. "Mud Flaps and Cow-Pies"

3 of us ran it Saturday. Looked like it was lower than Friday. All the drops were good to go, but the inbetween stuff was plastic abuse.

The falls were run, but it wasn't the prettiest thing I've ever seen.
