Swirly Canyon in Half Slices

Gauge Reading3700 cfs at Payette; South Fork below Deadwood Confluence

It was a a bit of a rough, but fun ride, with lots of big braces involved but we made it through 'Swirly Canyon' upright in our half slices (which I was  grateful for since rolling in there seems rough)! We had two packrafters with us who reported a much easier time.
