Black Rock 7-2-07

The Clear Creek season just keeps on going. We ran Black Rock after work today at about 600 cfs. This is an excellent water level for the run. I'd say its a bit tougher than Bailey at 600. Black Rock rapid is first with a pushy,technical lead in and an undercut on the bottom left. The run-out to Black Rock rapid:



The Narrows is the next biggie. This rapid is a classic case of way bigger at river level than it looks from the road. Entrance to the Narrows:



The Mr. Bill hole is the feature that immediately grabs your attention when scouting, but it has a nice boof flake and a smooth line. The hole after it, on the other hand, is a bit sticky. Paul impressed us with all the latest rodeo moves (in a Nomad). Christian taking the conservative line, just punching the hole cleanly:



Finally, there is Rigor Mortis. This seems like a really tricky level for Rigor as shown in this photo (Its blurry because I was already going for my throw rope when I took it).
