Time to finish Elsey Run was about 6-7 hours, due to lots of portaging around wood blockages like this one.

We worked hard to clear a tree out of this drop, but it was worth it. This is the end of a very tight and technical set of drops.
This was a technical little slide where you had to land perpendicular into a narrow slot. Fun, fun, fun.

Elsey Run: Tighter than a virgin's daughter.
