For days and days...
Adrian was in town and we were able to get multiple laps on the middle five miles of Icicle Creek. This portion of the run is known as the Ricochet section of Icicle Creek.
Levels were as follows:
Friday 4/20: 3060 cfs and rising 20cfs/hr Wenatchee at Peshastin.
Saturday 4/21: 3100 cfs and rising 60cfs/hr Wenatchee at Peshastin.
Sunday 4/22: 4200 cfs and rising 40cfs/hr Wenatchee at Peshastin.
Many friends were seen and even more good lines were had.
Brief photo dump of the 3 day weekend adventure:
The view from secret camp, way above Leavenworth is worth the drive.
Looking West from Secret Camp towards the source of Icicle Creek and therefore the source of all things good in this world.
One of the best drops on the run: The Plunge. The normal line is starting center river right and staying right until the slide. Then you want to be a couple of boat widths off the right wall with right or no angle. BOOF!
With more water you actually run over the river left side of the ledge.
This rapid is, in my opinion, the best rapid on the river, by far. It has no name, other than "the one above the plunge". Multiple boofs and tight line abound. Get in and get some.
Some Greenery with your Scenery?
More fun below Horseshoe
On Sunday we scouted with a little more water in the Creekbed.
Here, Adrian weighs his options on Horseshoe's outflow.
Horseshoe at a healthy level
Gorgeous weather all weekend
Stopped on the way up to The Wall for a look at Last Exit.
Stay safe.
