- Description
-
The gorge consists of several drops in the bottom half of the run. The entrance requires making a boof and saying straight and upright throw a manky slide. Once you've run the first slide you're fairly committed to the gorge. A couple of small ledge holes lead into what appear to be the crux of the gorge. At low water a signficant amount of water is pushing into an badly seived out rock that's not inclined to eat a boat, but could easily cause a flip. The drop can be portaged on river right. A technical set of manky ledges follow and an exit waterfall in the 12 foot range, followed by a few more stair stepping ledges.
