That must have been some tide of water coming down there.
Giant's Castle measured 118mm on the 8 and 9 of Feb. Mikes Pass hardly measured anything for those three days, so must have been pretty localised. I wonder how the staff are going to get out of the area? I wonder what it has done to the passes?

Wow, now that is quite something. Looking on the bright side of things, perhaps the Leslie's Pass approach got a bit of a shake-up

@supertramp - I have only used the river approach once, decades ago. Never again! I use the terrace path to get to the base of the path, way easier... Hopefully this didn't damage the terrace path
Any word on how the staff got out, certainly not with their vehicles?
Might have to start calling it Boulder Baths.
