Description
According to Embick, this has been run once, by Mike Koehmstedt and Mike Balster, on July 31, 1992. He also notes that this is one of at least 23 Coal Creeks in Alaska; this creek is the one in the Anchorage D-4 quad. Oh: one more thing: as the gradient implies, there's a lot of unrunnable stuff onthis here run. If you choose to do all the hiking that's required to run this puppy, scout and consider your choices carefully.
