WATERFALL WEDNESDAY Battle Creek Falls

Important reminder for all Meetup members!
If you've signed up for an event but can no longer attend, please be considerate of those on the waitlist and remove yourself from the "Going" list promptly. This will help us ensure that everyone has a fair chance to participate and make the most of our events. Let's all do our part to keep our community respectful and considerate of one another. Thank you!
Come participate in a run through Battle Creek falls to get out of the heat. We will meet at the Pavilion just north of the parking lot. The falls are a little over a half mile hike from the parking lot right off the main trail. The waterfall itself is only 50’ tall so this a perfect place to attempt your first waterfall descent.
The waterfall can be rapped off a large bush or trees above it. We will build an anchor on either the bush or a tree behind it. There are also numerous bolts on the cliff wall approaching the waterfall. We may use those to set up a guideline anchored to a large tree below the waterfall or for those who would rather stay dry and stil Rappel. If you plan to run the waterfall you may want a wetsuit, but it is short and sweet so if the temperature is high you may not need one. I will bring 3 ropes. Feel free to bring a rope as well. If time allows we will be able to rappel the falls more than once.
Required Equipment: water, harness, helmet, rappel device, self rescue equipment and carabiners. Optional Equipment: webbing, quick links, pocket knife, figure 8 or other blocking device, rope, VT prusiks or ascending device, personal anchor.
Dress appropriately for warm weather (warm weather attire, closed toe shoes that can get wet, sunglasses, hat, sunscreen, and whatever else you may need to stay comfortable for the day).
• No +1 RSVPs. If you know someone who would like to attend, please have them join the meetup group and sign up using their own account.
