This run is very fun, especially since there is no shuttle. I do however, enjoy hiking into runs. This rock is incredible and the rapids are fun. *NOTE. Muchos Cajones is easily run with speed and a strong boof. I have heard of people messing it up and flushing right away. I almost drowned here. I was getting the beatdown in my boat before I pulled, expecting to flush. Instead, I was recirced underwater for a very long time. I truly thought I might drown and I tried everything I knew to get out of there. Finally I did flush and there was a big chill pool below. My boat was stuck in an eddy upstream and would have been very difficult to get without someone still up there. Climbing back is not really an option as it is cliffed out. Have fun but be careful.
