Trip Report

ReporterHugh Stoll

We consider this our club run. We usually run it at least 6-10 times a season. Landslide is usually easier than it looks. Everybody in our group has rolled in it and just flushed right through. We always scout it on the left. Stop on the sandbar and walk carefully along left bank. I'ld call it a IV but only because a line too far left will put a new scratch on your helmet. As always...make your own decision. Shoot me an email if you're a solid class III paddler with a bombproof roll, and you'ld like someone to paddle this section with. hugetroll@yahoo.com
