Little South Update

By

As clean as I’ve seen the run… great level… surging 85/90 on the gauge at the top and splashing over the 2nd marker rock at the bottom.

We put on at 6:15… probably close to the daily peak… and ran it in under 2 hours… but if the wheels fall off the wagon in there it can take a lot longer… difficult river-side terrain and a gnarly walk out should it come to that… I’ve been with groups that have taken 5 hours, other’s have overnighted…

Only one real wood issue… the tree/rock sieve 3/4 down the bigger rapid near the end is horrible with lots of water pushing left into it. Stay right!
