Title: Middle Channel Wednesday May 22
Post by: Francois Leclerc on May 14, 2013, 12:06:21 PM
Taking a day off to (possibly) do the Middle next Wednesday if anybody's interested. Details to come.

If anybody has done the Middle recently, could you tell me how it looks like these days? One of the guys coming with me is not super experienced (class II+), I would like to know if the levels are too crazy and dangerous for him right now (...come to think about it, even for me!!! LOL)!

Thanks

From when I ran it at 23+... Level is  a bit higher right now i think..

McCoys is just big green waves,, some of em break off and on...

Little trickle is the same usual line... careful of the pourover on the right of the toungue..If I were you, id walk...

Angels kiss is fine..

Definitely walk Garvins...Staircase goes but Class 4 solid...

Lower Garvins has some big waves, big eddy lines and whirls...Alot of beginners from cukc swam there since they had a hard time rolling..

Upper no name is class 2-3 wave train but it pushes down broken canoe rapid instead of Lower no name since the water is high.. Never ran broken canoe so cant tell you...

Lower no name is all green waves...asides from a big wavehole river right...

On the way to the take out... make sure you ferry hard as you will most likely end up downstream of take out if you dont pay attention...

Had to cancel at the last minute unfortunately, going next wednesday instead. Some folks I know did it this past weekend and told me the levels were still quite high and that most of the interesting features were flushed out still. If the levels are still too high next week, maybe we'll do the Petite.

I ran it on Sunday at around 21.  was hoping for fresh intel for the coming weekend...

a few of us were in open boats (Blast, Zoom).  no problems...just big long wave trains.  it was nice to have a pump (well, 3 actually) in our boat.  not many play spots.  it was a quick run.
