Cullasaja Rapid #1 - The Slot - Video
Report
| Account | running the double boof, probably one of the safest rapids on this river, unless you count the possible sieves and that it's above the big mama that is Eclipse Cook fires up Eclipse after dealing with the screw up rocks at the top that seem to be new since '04 summer floods. Look for trouble from the entrance at this level. If you're a little too eager on the first drop, you'll rush the padded wall, spin and drop the second part backwards .... no worries, just enjoy the view up the rapid instead A look down the pit of Next Time -- use the lip visible in this pic to get your nose up. Rock on left (just underwater), big undercut on right, shallow landing area even when you're on line. This is about as good of a paddler's eye view of Next Time as you'll get w/o hucking it. It lands in a channel about 4 feet deep, with a barely covered rock on your left, big undercut on your right. Here's the full view of Eclipse. There might be a narrow line for a sneak on far left if you can keep your nose off a rock at the bottom -- since the floods in Summer '04, the portage of Eclipse is easier (but still not easy). A fast sluice with a drop and funny water in the middle and another drop right at the end. Don't end up left at the bottom of final plunge; as of 11 -2004, it washes into a bunch of logs. The old boat-breaker rock in the landing zone is gone thanks to the 2004 hurricanes. |
