Author: chipmaneySubject: Upper Sultan May 6th !!!!!!Posted: 08 May 2017 at 6:14pmGood points, Otterend. The run is long, and there are a lot of rapids, too, so if you are not fit or get tired, the run increases in difficulty. I def found it to be difficult. Sick run! I loved it! Looking forward to going back in August, whatever the flow.

Author: otterendSubject: Upper Sultan May 6th !!!!!!Posted: 08 May 2017 at 5:05pmWhen we took out at Powerhouse, the CFS for the Upper was 1100 and for the Lower was 2000. Lots of contribution from all those beautiful waterfalls. A wet spring = higher flow on a dam release. In the early fall, a 900 release likely would seem tamer. Such a fine run. All in for a Claas 4 boater like me. Glad I did...

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: chipmaneySubject: Upper Sultan May 6th !!!!!!Posted: 08 May 2017 at 4:02pmAgreed it's a poorly written description. However, the summary does describe Class IV+ boat scouting with wood potential, and that's pretty much what the river gave. I agree it could turn into a Class V environment with the right wood, but the rating doesn't predict wood. However, the IV+(V) rating, however, is ac...
