Had my best paddle on this river out of any of the other rivers i've paddled. We walked up our boats to the put-in which took 40mins. Never paddled this river before but felt really confident as five others had paddled it previously. First solid grade 3 in a while but after doing the first rapid i was quite confident. Had to scout about three of the bigger, technichal rapids. One which i was thinking about not doing as the others said they's portaged it more than once, but the flow seemed good and was a good run out if things went wrong but did it clean. No carnage, swims or any problems the whole trip which was sweet as we had 10 of us paddling. Wicked mission overall.
