Description

Awesome Gorge with cut out walls overhanging boaters impressively. Through the pinch down and through some class 2-3 rapids the river continues.

 

There is a long walk back on the river Left side over the hill gaining 100 ft of vertical or more. Long but it seems doable for the very determined. 10 minutes of effort. There are very slim pickings on river right to get back up to the top of the falls for a 2nd run through the falls. Kevin did a sketchy wet/slimy 5.4 solo climb to watch over the group after his probe when this picture was taken.
