Kaaterskill Creek

Fawns Leap is rated a 5.3 This has been run quite a number of times over the years which means my crew is likely to give it a go. My buddy who had fired it up 5 years ago dropped in on it in Aug/2009. We knew the drop had changed since the historic highwater event and we were warned. the level was not high that day. The unexpected action on the boater about half way down Fawns was to just get uncontrollably thrown over on the right and he snapped the right blade right off his paddle in the action. He didn't hit any rock hard with his body while falling upsidedown. He Rolled up offside, ran back to the truck for a new paddled and we fired up all the rest of the drops at what I thought was a very managable flow. (btw we all walked fawns after that) Just look out for this one and post successful Fawns Leaping. Remember he stuck the line and got wrecked maybe a medium high healthy flow is what we need there?
