I want to iterate the comment from Nick David 11 years ago. By all standards this is a Class V run and the description is misleading.

I am positive consensus amongst the state is this is for seasoned class V+ boaters.
This video captures the nature of the run well:
I would edit the post but someone has spent a lot of time on it and the beta is high quality.
