Upper Clear Creek 6-19-07

I have to admit I was not too impressed by this run the first time I did it (at some piddly little water level). What a difference high water makes. At 900 cfs it is good afterwork fun.

The first couple ledgy drops are actually more straightforward at this level (but they are much steeper than they appear in these pictures).





Dropping into one of the ledges from above.



After a little boogie, you come to Double Knife, which has more gradient than any other rapid on the run. There is a log left-center in the entrance followed by a huge pour-over on the right, but a simple right to left move avoids both hazards.



After Double Knife, its just read and run hole bashing to the takeout.
