Wapwallopen Creek

First D celebration. 215 cfs

Nice photos of the Wapwallopen! Phil Malatin and I ran it in around 1990 and initially negotiated Powder Hole by throwing our boats off and then climbing out on the old steelworks and jumping off. There were footprints painter on the steelwork at that time to show where to jump without hitting rocks. We then felt bolder and did the '20-foot freefall'. The jump was scarier than the kayak run! I remember we called the one slide that was run on the left the 'particle accelerator' because you went so fast. Seeing your photos makes me want to run it again.

Impressive! Props to anyone who runs this one
