Trip Report

ReporterSteve Flanagan

Joe just ran these falls at this high water level. Rapid just upstream of the falls forced him over the falls to the river right (near No Balls). The rapid just upstream of the falls is the greatest danger - throwing you off course, especially at this high water level.
This is the 2nd Falls River Right. Steve is taking the right option here, though we usually prefer to go left. The rock on the right side of the picture is a minor hazard when taking the left option. Steve has had some minor carnage here (it may not be a bad idea to wear elbow pads). These 2nd Falls will lead immediately into the River Right 3rd Falls so be sure to scout both before running. Best scout location is from the river right bank (top left of picture) & walking downstream.
This is the right option of the River Right 3rd Falls (left option is safe too). Be sure to scout this thoroughly, on 30 Jul 05 there was a giant, deadly strainer at this exact spot. You will need to take out immediately after this fall to scout downstream; downstream is vicinity No Balls for the Falls with some significant hazards.
