Yule Creek

Yule creek has been on the RCRE hit list for years and last weekend we got to fire it up.  First off, Marble CO is off the hook for boating.  The views are incredible and the geology is conducive to making sick waterfalls and slides.  What else do you want folks?

We got to Yule around 2:00pm and began to assess the situation.   The flow on the Avalanche creek gauge was around 1000.   We had beta on wood in the upper drops so we decided to rope down and fire what has been haunting Brian and me for years; the bottom four.

Note! When you get down to creek level it looks a lot different than it does from up high.  Wall check drops out steep in the beginning and the massage is HUGE!

Dropping in on oriental massage is one of the coolest feelings.  I ended up launching off the first big flake reconnecting and then airing the rest into the pool.  Sorry no vid, the camera was in my boat.
