this is a SICK section. Qaulity class IV/V rapids for several miles. Look for wood as this is a remote rarely run gem that does collect wood each year and unless you know it was scouted top to bottom do your due diligence.
What to expect a lot of on this run
This run can be done after a warmup on Castle Creek/slaughterhouse. A step up for the first two, Upper Fryingpan is a bit out of the way, I say see how the first two go and if your feeling good it is really worth the drive.
No significant wood issues as of 6/5/11
this is the correct gauge
