Trip report URL:
Comments: Doing a first descent in substantial flow was a grave error. Learn from our mistakes: if the flow is fun on a first descent, you shouldn’t be there.
This was run in 2023 (“The Deluge”), and shortly after an aseasonal hurricane, so flows were much higher than should be expected for late August in future years. The water was pleasant and a 4/3” was plenty of insulation. Hiking out after the sun had set was nice.
