Trip Report

ReporterMichael French

This is the first of 3-4 CL IV+, V drops in this short, obscure, remote beautiful creek. Scout this one as I ran it sight unseen (DOH!)and had a bit of a run-in with the rock wall at the base of the 8ft drop. All ok,, but scout.
One of the 3-4 difficult drops. There is a sneek slot river left, but at low flows this was not an option, easy portage left. HAs been run on the right with a narrow boof move to avoid the undercut at the base. Scout carefully here.
