Saturday was another scorcher here in Montana so off we go to the Madison River and the Beartrap Canyon. The flow was at 2000 cfs, we were hoping for more but it still provided some good play spots and the rapids were rocking.
Attendees:

BB RidgeKid
Dam Republican
John the Running Man

Between rapids the playspots are numerous.

And the ever famous Kitchen Sink Rapid-more carnage and deaths have happened here than anywhere on our local rivers.
The Rapid.
Powderfin advising to stay the hell out of that hole.

nice dude, great pics.
closest i have ever come to dying was taking an inner tube through the kitchen sink.
about the second time i got recirculated through i realized that was a REALLY bad idea."They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."

Nice pics! Is this Bloody Knuckles, where MT Surf says "a crazy hole that forms on the face of a rock"?

Fun video.
That rapid definitely got my attention when I first started paddling and lived in Bozeman.
Nice roll there DR, looked solid. Damn, C1'ing looks awkward..no clue why you guys prefer that style.

I think we should hit it again on Saturday. Republican, Cham, Ridge Kid up for it? I could be persuded otherwise if there is another river within reasonble distance with water in it.

im up for anything, went for a solo on the gally this evening an beat the hell out of my knuckles and elbows, i guess that is better than my ugly mug Originally Posted by Powderfin
. but the gally is playing decently with the formation of some new holes that are very sticky
(read multiple underwater recirculations, though i was dicking around) damn it was hot today and tomorrow is sposed to be hotter, we need to cool off...

Hey at least we got him out of the whitewater canoe. He still may see the light Originally Posted by Yonder_River
DR has good skills for just getting his roll down, hitting a roll thru the Sink was very cool. I was right behind him on that run-had a big old smile when he hit it. A swim there would not have been fun!

I think it's a no go for me - same f------ project. The Kid will be up I'm sure.I think we should hit it again on Saturday. Republican, Cham, Ridge Kid up for it? I could be persuded otherwise if there is another river within reasonble distance with water in it.
Root,
Not sure where Bloody Knuckles is but there are plenty of oppurtunities to get some.Last edited by mtcham; 07-19-2007 at 04:24 PM.

Yeah for the pulse flow!

Were those shots from the bank or the water? Looks pretty good.

The play pics were taken from the closest eddies I could get to and the Sink shots were from a boulder on the edge of the rapid. I kind of like the perspective shooting from the kayak. Originally Posted by Conundrum
