A friend and I are looking to tackle Tenaya Canyon in mid-August. I had a few questions which hopefully folk here can help with. I've used the search function already and read through a lot of threads about this with some very helpful pics - these are the few Qs I had left...
-A lot of trips through Tenaya seem to take place in September. Is mid-August likely to be dangerously early? From looking at a water gauge site earlier, it seems that river flow is down at the moment - is that likely to remain the case through August?
-I've read the various descriptions of how to get down the slabs (i.e. not going down too soon after Lone Boulder). I've seen a few people mention roping up - are there anchors set up here, or what technique are people using here (if both individuals want to be roped up when the time comes, someone isn't free soloing and taking all the risk themselves etc)?
-I've tried to locate the various rap points (in the gorge) on Google Earth. I've set out what I think are the first two raps here:
I was then trying to find the third rap (i.e. the next rap down into the gorge from the side ledge) but couldn't really see where on earth this is. Anyone able to help here?
-Finally, is someone able to indicate on a map whereabouts the poison oak areas are (in general)? Is the key to stay on the left/south side of the creek when in those final few miles?
Thanks!
Peter
