preparation for when the opportunity arises, I finally found a very reputable source. What I can
tell you from my conversation with this person is that the run starts with a 20' waterfall with a
small margin for error. After that, the creek chokes down to "micro" in size and averages
class IV+ to V- with a few solid Vs thrown about. I also know that there is one rapid in there that
is not a "mandatory" portage, but for all intents & purposes for most mortals, it is
a portage in the upper class V+ range (5.2 or 5.3). Is a tiny slot with undercuts on both sides and
a horrible recirculating eddy / whirlpool / hole thing. My understanding is that it is UGLY and if
you dont make the slot, the only hope for rescue is a well timed rope. <br /><br>

Along the run, portaging is not easy according to my source. It's rhododendron hell in there. Plan
a lot of time for this run and be ready to do a lot of scouting. And as always keep an eye out for
lumber!
