Excited to get out after Friday's downpours. Getting to First Water didn't even require crossing any creeks? huh?

East Boulder and to the south was flowing well.

Bruce threw out an insane loop. Mixed it up on the fly to make it work. While no one in their right mind would explore the ridge area from 1st Water TH as Peralta and Carney are closer... it was pretty awesome.

I explored this area about 10-15 years ago. Good to get back and dig in deeper! Travel up on WB Ridge is slow going. Some of the best views anywhere on earth as anticipated. Snow flurries on occasion. Fun and exhausting, thx guys!

perhaps a grade higher, difficult to observe without the beautiful sun

Considerably more impressive than anything near First Water TH. I've only seen this flowing better once.
