A swollen Oak Creek and the beginning of the approach, spring 09. The left bench of stone leads to the beginning of the uphill section of the approach. Normally these stone benches are dry.

Two of my best partners at the waterfall, Barley and Roggen, happy to see me on the ground again.

another pretty shot of our little, local eden....
The remains of the old anchor off of Natural Enhancement. The # 10 nut was flopping around in the crack when I came upon it. <br> <br> Makes me wish the boys and I had documented the old anchors more when we were updating the anchors starting in the late 90s, but that was before the digital age, and for that matter, trails along the base of the cliffs... I am lucky enough to have a few black and whites of our early days there. I would love to see any older photos of the place posted!
