Though a lot of water is visible, actually there is only about 20-30 cfs (estimate) flowing.
An easy class II+ slot required scouting as there was no way to see what lay below. Huge boulders filled the riverbed in many areas of the run, obstructing downstream views.
Rocky running a class V somewhere. (I don't remember exactly where this was, but the event wasn't that bad, because it simply isn't that memorable.)

The Rockhouse Basin stretch is an easy class-I part of the river with good views of the surrounding mountains at many spots.
