| no partners | | Fourth time to Deadman Falls. First time for the rest of the group. Started at 0705. Temp was ~40° at start, warmed to ~75°. Cloudy at start, with sun emerging later (enough that I had a mild sunburn at the end). Patches of snow throughout. Slippery in a few places.
Water was flowing pretty well at all the falls. I've seen them stronger, but this was pretty good. We stopped at Big Kahuna for about 30 minutes, took pics, and climbed around. Stopped at Sandy Saddle for 30 minutes for pictures, exploring, and lunch. Arturas somehow fit a whole banquet into his backpack - 3 pounds of ribs, a fruit basket, homemade cookies, a jug of hot tea, and other snacks. It worked, because they had a lot of energy on the way back. At North Fork falls, Arturas did a full polar plunge, while the rest of us dipped our feet in the water.  We went upstream to Horse Camp Seep, playing in the other 6 waterfalls along the way. Then we headed back.
I tweaked my previously-injured Achilles tendon stepping on a rock that shifted, so I was slow heading back, but they were patient with me. We saw only 3 other people and 1 dog the entire day. No trash to pick up. Overall a great day, with beautiful weather, great views, and excellent company. My Achilles tendon is feeling a little better now, about 50%. |
