If anyone is curious about the challenge of this section, I put together a pretty extensive video showing just how continuous the rapids really are on this river at 5.0 feet on the Kitzmiller gauge.

Our run was about 4 hours long, and I've managed to trim the video down to about 45 minutes. I left it that long for those who are uncertain about what to expect.
River reading skills and bracing are probably the most important skills, although a rock solid roll certainly never hurt anybody. Watch those gauge forecasts to make sure it's not gonna flash high on you while you're out there.
