Gore Canyon on the headwaters of the Colorado (by Kremmling CO) is one of the quintessential class IV-V run used in the US qualifying kayak and raft circuits. Its technicality is not to be underestimated. With these boats, however, you are able to drop sideways into quite a few rapids, as one can see.
The water level usually runs around 800-1000cfs, so 2500 is significantly larger and was the last spike on the downside of the water curve for that section in 2008.
Don't be fooled by how easy it looks from the camera angle, it is quite challenging but A LOT OF FUN!!
There is no footage of Toilet bowl since I broke an oar dropping into Tunnel Falls and didn't get it fixed until in the eddy of Toilet bowl. Yes, running Toilet with one oar is doable - no flips there.
Between Scissors and Pyrite: The surf in the hole is from the oar slipping out of the oarlock because the leash is too long. My first day of open oarlocks (i.e. not pins and clips)
To all who ran that day it was the best! What a thrilling day.

Miss your carnage on the river, bro! See you on the upper Gauley for the Gauley Festivus in sept if you can make it (please go)... promised my little sister I'd take her down that shizzle. You going? We're not going to Idaho so the whole crew is heading out there instead. Much love.
