Whitewater Rafting - Class 5 Rapid Fail in Idaho

[kayakutah]

I thought it was "Pair-A-Dice", and calling it class V seems a stretch.

@kayakutah Have you run Pair-a-dice/Pair-o-dice/Pair-o­f-dice?

[kayakutah]

@kayakutah I have, though it was over 10 years ago in a kayak; around the left at high flow, around the right over the drop at low flow when it drops into a secondary channel. It's very pool/drop with quite a nice recovery pool after the spot where the raft flipped, as I recall. The one that scared me, frankly, was Duck blind at 2200 CFS because it really drives you hard into the right side. BTW, I didn't mean to suggest it is easy. I really need to learn to keep my opinions to myself!

That is Pair of dice Rapid. Ran it twice on either side of the portage. Ra n it with Olin Gardner....The Olin Gardner

I went rafting up on the upper animas in colorado and the water was 25 - 30 degrees!

[Deurbrouck]

I'd want to stare at that for a while before i tried it but...sure looks like a possible (but fliprisky) line maybe five feet right of his entry IF he'd been squared up to it AND had some serious forward momentum. Do folks run there?

Rather not be in an oar-frame

[eriekayak]

@caseyjones22 Oh yeah, that does look lethal! I meant the line just to the left of the big rock in the center looks like the place to be.

[eriekayak]

The right line looked much easier, but looks like a very nice spot to take a gamble like that! Doesn't look like a bad place to swim at all.

[caseyjones22]

@eriekayak The right line is an absolutely deadly hole, especially at that water level.

this the snake?

[JayAre561]

they died?

[brimultimedia]

No. dumping the raft is all part of rafting. It can happen.

[ristobeatty]

@qwsa1094 @snowyphil65 yeah this is the Murtaugh stretch of the snake river just up stream from the Hansen bridge near Twin Falls, ID
