From Brad Roberts of Boater Talk:
Very hard, dangerous, class 5-6.
We break up the run into three sections.
Upper is from the lake to above the unrunnable falls.
Middle is from below Nemesis to above the 200-foot unrunnable falls. Don't miss that last eddy.
Then there is the lower. 600 plus feet a mile. 10-foot pools followed by 20-foot drops. Its from the base of the big falls to the bridge two miles downstream.
Don't do the lower until you are bored on the Green Narrows.
Be especially careful around the drops called Eclpise (similar but worse than Sunshine) which has nasty siphon/undercut in it, and 15 feet downstream the waterfall known as Next Time. After the first 6 drops it eases up a little. To hard class 5, that is......
Be careful out there.
