Finally hit the Cold Brook

After 4 attempts we finally made it on the Cold Brook at a manageable level. Here are some pics, Ill get someone who can write to put a story together.

Dan


Braden was a little excited to get going in the morning. You can see the stellar, rainy weather we've been having, something 24 of the last 27 days.



Entrance exam, where Jeff had a slightly longer than expected surf.


But he's a trooper, and volunteered to take some pictures of the rest of the drops.


Dan entering into the ledge above backbreaker (in the foreground).



A ncie shot of Braden dropping over backcreaker.



And Dan plugging right into the hole at the base of backbreaker. At this level there isnt too much stick below the falls, unlike the last time we tried!



Directly after backbreaker, Braden dropes in Particle Accelerator. The first run of drops on the Cold Brook has a 4 footer into some boogie water, into a 5 footer, into back breaker, and then right into particle accelerator. Its got to be one of the best starts to creek I've seen.



Just after particle accelerator is NO2 Chute, a crazy looking chute/slide into an auto boofing 6-8 footer. We all scouted the nasty, backed up, deep, gross, bla bla hole at the entrance to the chute for a long time.



And after a look here at the run out, into a 6-8 foot drop...



We all seal launched just below the hole. It was cold and rainy, give us a break!



Heres a nice shot of Braden getting blasted out of NO2 chute, about to go very deep in the pool.

And then the camera died... too bad there was a LOT of nice stuff downstream. I can't say enough good things about this creek!
