It's a fraking cliff, that's why!

hertinknessSo- I've finished digitizing some deltas, and my advisor walks in to give me his two cents about my thesis. All well and good. I wish he'd do this more often.
We start talking about a set of streams up near Glenora- Big Stream and Rock Stream- and whether we can use them in my analysis. I have my doubts, but later I look through my field notes and find that Rock Stream is incised deeply into bedrock. Big Stream is only a few hundred meters north of it, and displays the same watershed characteristics- narrow slot canyon, steep sided gorge- on the map. So I email and tell him this, and all is well.
He gets back to me asking if the streams are accessible. I take another look at my map and my field notes. The land there is owned by a few vineyards, and most of the farmers that I've spoken to up there have been pretty good about allowing me on their property. I email him back saying this, but with the caveat that it would be hard to access the stream bed because of the steep-sided gorge.
He returns my email suggesting that we get into the streambed from the road. I look at my field notes.
The area under the road bridge is a 13 m cliff.
I suggest climbing gear.
