Mountain Buzz · Colorado, Western US and everywhere else
Paddled it in May at 5.5'. All the big holes are easily avoidable even at that level. If he is comfortable in 3/4 he'll be fine.

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity
Author: ReneeCPSubject: Vagabond Christmas PotluckPosted: 28 Dec 2016 at 8:36pmSadly, I'm not clear on the lunch hole rapid's hole location. My log says Courtney and Jimmy were both there that day.

I was never a good swimmer whe...
