Big Sands hike looking good to start

Report

Account First drop of long, technical rapid that featured multiple freakish holes. No one tangled with this bad boy. Long, complex, technical, pushy, and with a sieve ending. Stouter than it looks After a 3 mile hike in, the put in gives no indication of the gradient you are about to encounter. Seems like an easy hike in at this point.
