Irene and I will be doing a sky run (cable drop to split rock) on sat. Meet at split rock at 1.30. And would be happy to lead less experienced paddlers down this run. Should be perfect level for first timers on the Sky or anyone wanting to work on skills. We normally spend 3 hours on this run. Catching eddies, ferrying, surfing, attaining etc. No problem if you want to walk Boulder drop. Text call or PM me. Mike Nash, 206 799 8687
We will be in creek boats. At this level it is good for honing steep creeking skills.

BTW any boat is fine, Mike meant that if you have a creekboat don't assume it's too low to use it.

It's all fun and games until someone loses a paddle.

Not trying to bump this thread but I have been meaning to say thanks to all who showed up on Sat., it was a great day with around 16 people total, some running the Sky for the first time, some first D's on Boulder Drop, and a bunch of new and old faces that made for a great mix. 'Thank you' to the pros who showed up to lead and set safety!

Hey there, just a heads up that this already took place, so it's not for this Sat. I bet there will be people out on the Sky this weekend though.
