#conditions Ran the North Fork only as a group of 4 on 5/2/2026 - beautiful! The pool of ice cold bug water is still there at the penultimate rappel (before the two-stager); it's unavoidable and was waist deep at least for everyone. Right after there are two bolts. We skipped these and downclimbed the 2m drop to a ledge above the first of the two-stage rap. Bolts looked good and webbing was acceptable. Second stage 45m anchor hanger is wearing a circle around the bolt but the bolt still appears solid; webbing is acceptable. The final anchor is pretty far back from the ledge; we were confused why the second stage (45m) is called a ledge when the first stage (15m) is an actual tiny little ledge that no one wanted to clip in to without safety from the extra upper bolts. Poison ivy at the bottom of the 45m free hanging rap is growing rampant - we could avoid it on landing but barely. The rope fell all over it, so ours, too, is in bag isolation! The hike out was long so take lots of extra water. You can intermittently find a trail if you follow the GPX, but it is lots of gaining and losing elevation that seems unnecessary (but we didn't stay in the east wash to find out if it was passable).
