Description

A few hundred yards downstream from Bear Pin, the creek turns 90 degrees to the left as a small tributary crashes in from the right. Get out on the river left and portage the inside of the corner around the multiple logjams. This is the end of the warm-up. The creek drops 200 feet in the next 2/3 mile! Maximum gradient tops out over 550 ft/mile in this section.  Another long slide leads to the top of 'Bear Claw'
