Disagree a bit with your estimation. The key to this run is getting it when the dam is spilling or the diversion is shut off. I got on this run 3 times in 08; once in may when the flow at Shasta was 1,300cfs (scheduled release) and twice in sept. (PG&E maint) at apprx 900cfs. and the rapids flew by esp. at the top, covered the 1st ten miles in less then 2 hours (class 3+ boulder gardens) the middle 6 miles in 2 hours (class 3+/4 boulder gardens & mini gorges with a couple of holes) and the last 5 in two and a half (class three boulder gardens with longer pools with one a step up {steeper boulder garden on a left bend} Good play as well if you dare to bring a play boat. This run needs a recreatioal release!
