After being snowed out of another run, we decided to do the Waterfall run on the N. fork Lewis (not to be confused with the waterfall run on the East Fork Lewis). We decided not to deal with trying to portage the nasty drop in upper falls. We decided to do a throw and go instead! We all had a good run and jump. There were no takers for Lower falls, but Matt's girlfriend Caitlin took some really cool photos (and did a great job running shuttle for us the last couple trips, thanks!).Matt drops Taitnapum falls.

Josh decided to climb down to take a closer look at the bottom.
That was actually him after he jumped. He didn't get out very far and landed in the veil of the 35 footer and got stuck in the hole for a bit. Then worked his way along the wall below the drop. After seeing this, I decided I needed a bigger jump and cleared out farther, without any problems.

We then boat scouted middle falls and took out just above Lower. I have become increasingly uncomfortable about drops over 30. I need to practice my tuck.
