Yeah, I ran it a week or so ago. Two people on my trip had seen it earlier
in ther year at higher water and said 'just run it down the middle.' I got behind the rest of the group, so saw no one run it. Standing on the frame I couldn't see any channel anywhere, so I went for the left side, trying to push hard enough to split a pourover and tehe big hole beyond. While it didn't exactly work, I didn't flip, either . . . but I wouldn't recommend it as a run to jot in your guidebook. My passenger, who had been unimpressed with the rest of the river, finally got the idea of what highside means and why. We looked at the rapid driving out, and it looked like a river-wide hole to me. There may well be a run on the right, but it looked pretty boney. It's a bigger drop with bigger waves than I've seen on the Grand Canyon, and at least at the level I ran it, there wasn't a channel or tongue anywhere. It gave everyone something to talk about at take-out, and the extra adrenaline made unloading gear go faster. |
