Lets paddle paddle paddle. put your trips in the below comments for everyone to see!!! See Below Posts for Mark and Clay's Lower St. Mary's Adventures!!!
Made it down Spionkop today. Had quite a solid piton on the first major drop (15ft). My ankle will be sore for a while :( There were quite a number of nice class IVish drops in the canyon. We had to port one drop because of an undercut cave.
I rapped off the 15 footer because I didn't want to risk the shallow landing with a sore ankle. Glen ran it and boofed into the wall on the right.
The rest of the canyon was good with 2 narrow sports of about 3 feet.
This is definitely the most committing of the 3 front range runs. It also has the most number of distinct rapids.

Hey Chris,
Great pic's on the CalPaddle blog - looks like another interesting creek.
Hope the ankle heals quick.
