Day 2 - River Mile 107 to River Mile 101
Books say Clarno Rapid bumps from class III to a IV at 6000 cfs which was where we were at. Solid III+ with a hole on river left that all avoided. Clarno consists of a
lead-in rapid
,
some rock-dodging
,
a hard-left followed by a hard-right
,
more hole and rock-dodging
,
the rapid itself
,
and a long tail
. For a first-time whitewater runner, George did well, especially since his self-bailer holes were unknowingly closed.
Here he bails out the swamped IK
before proceeding backwards through Clarno. Took the little-used middle channel approach in the surf-cat due to being asleep at the oars.
