Whitehorse Rapids Deschutes @ 4200cfs

Running Whitehorse with Paul at 4200 in late June 2009. I'm too far left at Hog's Back, but manage to pull off of Can Opener in time. Two weeks before with water at or around 5000cfs, a guide bag boat was pinned at Oh Sh1t. Yikes, makes it look like a beer can.

Thanks Arcline! Good tip on the anchor.

Loved your photo essay from Westfly.

Looks like a fun run.

I rowed my woodie through there a couple of days before the wrecked drift boat got pinned on Oh Sh@t rock. Hiked up from camp and took pictures of it in the river. A daunting sight. No offense intended, but I'd suggest putting your anchor IN the boat while running Whitehorse. A pre-mature deployment and you're sunk more or less instantly.

Nice scout video. That's how I want to run it too. Might split the humps since I'll be in a raft.
