Water Level

[Sludge]

The water level is about 4 feet below the top step at P1

Huh?

LOL, pretty sure he meant "bottom step of the main stairs." The side stairs are the only way out, for sure.

I climbed out of OG in BACKMOUNT (OMG!) on Sunday. I cheated and ran a handline off the railing before the dive though. It wasn't great exiting, but not as bad as if I'd had the 104s instead of the 85s. I would NOT have wanted to try it without a handline. Back to the gym....after the chiropractor...

I've done the handline method for exiting OG with less than stellar results. A better (and safer) method is to make an etrier using Frost knot on 1" wide tubular webbing at the top connection (see NSS On Rope book for method). Another easier method is to use 8mm accessory cord and tie in-line figure 8 knots pointed downward to create foot loops to stand in. Just make sure that your first loop ends up being situated about 4' below the water surface, when you first stand up and gravity rears its ugly head.

Huh?

I believe Jim Wyatt is merely guilty of a typo. The water is 4' below the top of the BOTTOM step of the platform.

Are P-1 and Orange Grove still dropping?

[PsychDiver]

Dove P1 Sat 4/28 and a week later on Sat 5/5 and there was a noticeable drop across one week.

The run from P1 looked powder dry. There was a noticeable change vs. my last trip three weeks ago.

Thanks. Just where all this is headed?
