Nice little trip through today, all looks very professional and a substantial amount of work involved - Thanks all! Hopefully it will last for many more years.
I know it's been wet everywhere recently. Beck was dry outside WR itself, no water on the climbs. What the CNCC guide described as 'usually a trickle' on the "all weather", "dry" route, was a notable little stream (maybe 1-2" deep). Not in anyway a risk or challenge at that level, but substantially wetter than I remember WR being (although it's been quite some time since I was there) even in wet conditions., and enough to give us pause and consideration. Has the hydrology changed? Is this just a slow stream from previous wet weather? Does it ever get challenging? Those cascades would become troublesome with not much more water added to that stream, and potentially the crawl later on too.
