Yellow Creek (Bullet Crk. trib./Monroe Co.)

just another gnarly drop

Now that the person who has hiked the river but not ran it is no longer the stream keeper, more accurate information may become posted. Yellow Creek was first attempted by Matt (Badfish on BT) who took off after the first couple humdred yards. Keith Clark and I did the run because we had already set shuttle and had to get to the bottom any way. Yellow is a very hard run with some of the best rapid only unrunable due to wood. It and Bullet creek it runs into are both intense runs with some great rapid mixed in with all the mank, the portages which are many are pure hell. Mark cumknock has a good write up of both creeks on the Walden ridge webb site. If you want more information feel free to call me at 803 319 1719 or if you would rather hear about it from badfish I have his number somewhere. We have picture and video of these creeks and not the ones the hiker took with no water either.

here is some more intel pertaining to the first d of yellow creek with pictures included

Looks like more water would pad this drop out better. Cool drop though.
This one looks ok down the right side.
This is the first of around 5 drops. It gets tighter further into things.
This one splits around an island, with the cascade shown being on river left. A few hard hits, what you see is what you get.

Unrunnable boulers with wood.

Notice the rock in the landing. It looks even tighter in person. Better have iron legs/ankles for this one.

You might as well hike up and look at this as its only 100 feet up from the confluence. Pretty spot.
