Pair-o-Dice from the Hansen bridge - stay left
The river-right side hole at Pair-o-Dice -this thing would keep a swimmer
The fun river-left side of Pair-o-Dice
Approaching Let's Make a Deal
The river-right side doors of Let's Make a Deal
Close up of doors 3, 4, and 4.5
The nasty hole at the bottom of door 5
Redshanks and the impressive roostertail There are beautiful waterfalls down this whole stretch

Springdale Wave; Yellowstone River; Montana (III?)
Thanks to Ryan for the video and Conor for the still shots. The light was a little tough for video that afternoon, so some of the slides are a little blurry, but all in all, some great footage of one of the best waves in Montana with a bonus of clip of Big Timber Creek.

Big Timber Creek; Montana (V - V+)
The following pictures are in order as you walk up the canyon. They are in reverse order of the actual run.
Big Timber Falls - this is the lower drop - there is a 60 ft. lead-in falls
that is unrunnable at all but lowest flows. The entrance move for the
lower falls is a 15 ft. waterfall that lands in a left banking slide against the wall (just to the river right of the island in the picture). This slide then launches you off the 30-35 ft. main drop.
Drop under the first walking bridge
Very nice, forgiving falls - two drops below The Pinch
Drop immediately following The Pinch
Crappy picture of The Pinch - this thing is nuts; i can't imagine running it at the flows we had
(estimate 400 cfs or so) Slide drop leading into portage - I think the next drop is called No Way Out (aka portage)
Fine Line
Drop above the second walking bridge O's Woes
No Worries Falls - the put in drop
