To get to this run, you drive west from Terrace approx. 1 hour, paddle across the Skeena River (takes about 30 min), then hike up to the put in beside a little marshy lake. The hike takes about an hour and a half, and be prepared for mud. Lots of berries to eat on the way though! I have heard horror stories about the mosquitos on the hike but it was clear sailing for us.
This run is all about the big slides. 3 drops are upwards of 100 feet each of steep fast and technical goodness. Rather than talk, heres a few photos: (my camera was crappin out so bear with the blurred shots....)
Corey nearing the bottom of the first drop (this pic shows about 1/3 of the rapid)
Ali taking left line on the first drop
Sy and Ali looking at the rooster rapid
Corey and Sy at the final slide
Ali at the bottom of the last slide
Corey in the top of the slide. I like this photo, if you look hard at the top left you can just see his head poking up
Sy on the last slide
All in all, pretty tight run. Beers tasted better than usual after this one!
