7 Steps of Death

The first step is about 10-12 ft high to give you some perspective. On the river left side is a wicked piton and bow entrapping v notch. On river right it drops completely on to flat rock and moving flow. No pooling, only pillowing at best.

The next series of corners and drops are not so bad if isolated but together they are a formidable gauntlet. Pitons and broaches are typical and can greatly be reduced if you scout at low flows to know the riverbed character.

To this point the 7 Steps have mainly only been run by full on creekers that have run all of the hairy 5+ drops locally as well as across the region. Think twice.
