Raymondskill Creek

Went to Raymondskill Creek in PA on Saturday and Sunday. John Greer showed me and Reido down on Saturday and me, Reido, and Lucas came down sunday. Here's some footage:



*Edit* in the end, that's "Chris Reid," not Reed.



Opening drop -- 20-25 footer with a tricky approach



The falls


The falls again -- the bottom drop in both these pictures is runnable, but you have to climb in to run it and climb back out above the third drop

Stairway

Ran stairway, finally, at around 2 feet last Wednesday...and I've got a new patch on my drysuit and holes in both layers I was wearing underneath it as well as in my shoulder -- that rock in the second drop can be bad upside down.

Sunday Bull's

Ran Bull's at 4.5 today w/ Scott, Ted and Jeff.




Me in the green Huck, Scott behind me, Jeff in front of me

Beer Kill

Ran the Beer Kill creek in Ellenville, NY on saturday. This guy John Greer who had paddled it once, last weekend, showed me, Lucas, Dave Paton, and Chris Reed down.

Overall, hardest thing I've ever run (at least the big drops).


First drop of Hanging Rock Falls (mandatory portage)




Lead-in to second drop of HRF
