Description

Currently there is a large log over the entry lip of Last Rights. You can "easily" Limbo under the log at flows under 2.0. During our high water run of 2.75 flows Kevin micro squeezed under, Sam seal launched off the top of the log and I put in at the eddy at the base of Last Rights on river right.

 

At lower levels this drop is independent and 2 eddies can be caught on left and right. At levels of 1.5 and up the eddies get slim pickings and look very unattractive, as a miss could send you into Back Alley Brawl backwards which could be disastrous. Last Rights has been run hard right without pitons. Center lines with left angle have produced barrel rolls and trashy hard hits on the right hip. At low water, my face mask took several painless gashes here. With the log in place, at the rapid's lip, the drop has a class 5+ feel doing the limbo just as the bottom drops out (inducing a barrel roll in my case -wg)

 

PORTAGE:

If you don't like the look of this just portage Last Rights and Back Alley Brawl (V+). In the winter portage on Left though there is a trail on river right that might work well in warmer ice free months.
