So, to clarify, we are talking about the 7 sisters section, with the waterfalls, right?

Without the waterfalls...

Were talking about the Gauntlet, seen in this video is the Washing Machine section at 208 cms.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRulhTVD5P4

Heres another video of Marcos down the Gauntlet at similar levels
http://vimeo.com/33313124

The waterfalls are usually not run at this level As far as I know.. People run them from 50 cms and below.

Heres a video of the falls at 208 cms

A better question would be: Are the falls (by which I mean 2-7) are gonna be runnable at these levels??
That will probably be my deciding factor!
Thanks

I've only ever done the 7 sisters section, and it was at 35 or 40
I have no idea what JN said lol
I said the same this as you just did! Ive only ran it at 35-60 but I assume well take a look at the bigger ones and im pretty sure I am ok for this run! Ive got friends who ran it at 120 and a bove and they say it gets pretty big. Ive also got friends who ran it a 300 and above and they say its even bigger! the rouge is one of those rivers that change ALOT with 10 cms more. lol

On l'a fait ? 160 en playboat, mais c'?tait en juin... C'est des grosses vagues, quelques gros trous aux m?mes endroits. Il faut ?tre s?r de pouvoir arr?ter avant les chutes... --C.

Du gros volume, mais les contre-courants sont tous l?.
Le seuil Elisabeth fait un peu peur, mais la ligne est simple.
La bosse avant le champignon est assez grosse qu'on voit rien devant. Belle Montagne russe.

Faut bien ?viter les trous, c'est tout, car ils sont m?chants.

Wow, ?a serait un super bon plan mais, il faut que je sois de retour en ville pour 5h00.  Je ne ferais surement pas la 2e section.  ON verra avec les niveaux.

At that level the Seuil Elisabeth and the whole section is of course bigger but the lines simpler.
Last year, I ran that section in my SStar at 165.

Should be good surfing at that wave by the road.
