| Account | Hmm. Did Ted just run this one? This is the rapid immediately upstream of the one with the sieve. A lot of the Beer Kill looks like this. This is the crux move in the slide. There's a little entrance move, then the boof, and then you can pretty much bang your way down the remaining fifty feet, until it necks down into a 5 foot wide slot that spits you out into a pool. Very cool rapid. This one might actually be runnable with mucho safety and scouting. This one is definitely not runnable, but it sure is pretty. This is the last significant drop on the run. It's a fun boof, but the cave on the right and wood on the left make it interesting. This is the last drop on the run. It's a pretty straightforward boof, but the cave on the right and the wood on the left make it interesting. It's not really too visible in this shot, but the moss covered rock forms an ugly sieve. I've run the left to right move above the sieve, but the better line is right of the boulder in the center. It does get a little bony at lower flows though. This is the first big rapid below the portage at Hanging Rock Falls. The key is to have a little right angle as you come off the vertical drop, because most of the flow wants to push you left into an undercut. Ted runs a nice line through the unfortunately named "Assmaster." |
