I would be cautious of Upper Black Bar falls and Blossom Bar. Both have some manuvering that is required. Be sure to stay far right at the top of UBB Falls... Yup. Perhaps someone could explain why Upper Black Bar looks so easy from the top (center looks OK, but it is not!) and even from the bottom, yet it causes so much carnage. Very few rapids have such a gap between how it looks and how it behaves. and hit the gap behind Horn Rock on Blossom. The move at Blossom can't be scouted (without rock climbing equipment) but it's easy if you know when to start and where to go, so look at the Quinn Quinn Quinn & Quinn book for the how-to, or he http://cacreeks.com/rogue.htm avoid the "Telfer's Rock" on the left at Blossom Bar. I thought Telfer Rock was the left-side obstacle at the 2nd S-turn of Mule Creek Canyon. Easy to miss, but potentially lethal to swimmers without PFD. Save your wrists for Coffeepot, where speed helps. |
