Route Description
Technical Guide: 

It's a half day of driving on good dirt roads from the ferry at Ross River. That's after a morning of driving good dirt roads from Watson Lake to Ross River.

Drove in from Ross River. Drove out from Pelly. Friends in Yukan ran shuttle for us.

Special Comments: 

Portage trail for our 3rd portage suckered us. We failed to follow the river edge, and missed scouting the most significant and dangerous move in the rapid. Too confident, we also did not scout the full 3 kilometres necessary to find a good take-out.
