Description
From Mohenious on boatertalk: Got what is possibly the 2nd descent. It's the next drainage south of Brushy Creek. Put in off 25/70 and take out at Banard. It's about the same size as Brushy, but not as much Gradient. Only one rapid warrented class V, "Super Suddy Hole". It's very reminescent of the crack at Suddy Hole on the lauel. Except that there are two cracks stacked on top of each other with a long class III-IV lead in rapid. Unfortunately it was too clogged with trees to run yesterday. The rest of the run had a few 8-10 ft sliding ledges, lots of fast blind corners,one strainer portage, and 3 barbed wire fences.
