Arkansas - III

Fractions feels significantly harder than Brown's. I've run Brown's and Fractions in a raft 2x each now. Most recently close together, both at ~1200 cfs on the Nathrop gauge. In a raft at 1200 cfs at least, Fractions feels at least a half grade harder and more serious than Brown's. Constant maneuvering is required, flips will follow if you don't maneuver correctly, and swims through rocky rapids will be longer than you want them to be. There are not many 'pool' sections to collect yourself and your gear in. Don't let the lack of big waves fool you (though there are a few of those, too), this is committing.
