Tye, North Fork

I recently ran the North Fork of the Tye for the first time with Scott Anderson and Billy Armstrong. It was a bit below the recommended low. Paksaw is an extremely tight line at low water, a bit of a guard hole forms in front of one of the undercuts on Entrance, and the rapid below Glide, 'Boof Right', presented its case with a close call, a near sideways pin. It seems important to get a good boof exactly on line to thread the two boulders below the boof. It might be a good idea to set safety at lower water, in case of a pin. The weather was perfect for taking pictures. We kept a low profile and stayed in the confines of the riverbed.
