There is a line in this rapid that pushes thru the nasty hole at the bottom but I never even came close to it because I screwed up the entrance and popped both oars, The rest was just hanging on until it flipped. I was sucked under water by the hole but was saved when a oar hit my hand, I grabed on for dear life and was pulled out with the cat and quickly scrambled on top .
No loss of gear and the drybags were only slightly damp.
We lined the second Cataraft on the left side but it took about an hour and alot of sweat to do it.

That was very kind of the river to deposit you and the boat in a nice eddy afterward. :)

What is the name of the rapid - Widowmaker? Kudos to you for an honest write-up. Glad you came out of it in safely.

I always see people scrape down the river left side on this rapid when it seems like keeping center and pushing to the left with some speed and momentum would be a much better way to run the rapid. Is there something I'm missing?

I looks like if you took river right it would push you into a giant rock after the big poor off. It doesn’t look like there would be any way of avoiding it.

@@ryanbrockmiller1648 I'm not saying go river right either.... there is fairly obvious tongue/seam right down the middle of the rapid that takes you to the right of the hole that this guy hit but left of all the nastiness on the right.

That hole stopped your cat like it hit a brick wall! LOL! I am not sure that having your oars in the water would have helped. It seems to me, it may have helped to be over further right.

@kevinbird3856 3 года назад
Uh. . Yeah. That's the point of actually having oars. You go where you need to and push. when needed. Might as well have been a piece of driftwood

@@kevinbird3856 Yup, and oars pop out of the locks on occasion and often take too many precious seconds to re-lock. In the interim, high siding is often the only other recourse.

I have never seen a cata raft that didn't fall downstream. Not even sure why they put oars on them.

So if I read your description right, there were only 2 of you on this trip? Please tell me no cause that's plain stupid if so... This was a hard lesson for you to learn and you got lucky. You gotta be aggressive in Class 5 man, you looked lost from the beginning Sorry to be so hard on you but I would be embarrassed to post something like this. Best of luck to you...

@@paytonfreer8945 Or do stuff you can handle with a shred of control or style... Masterclass in dropping in all wrong with 100% consistency until you get stuffed into the maw. Even the first easy drop he spun himself wrong right on the lip. followed up with more sloppy flail. Stayed with his boat, tho, that's a point in his favor, stayed calm. But you gotta do these things with some intent!

@@kengregory1541 I get that. I see private boaters all the time doing stupid shit. Especially pulling against the current which has never made sense to me. All I’m saying is that the way you get better is by doing rapids like this because when you fail, you say “next time I’m not doing that”

@@paytonfreer8945 I hear ya and I've taken my swims but this guy really looks like he needs the basics. I started rowing on class 2 and by the time i got to class 3 I had more boat sense than this! Plus isn't this a very remote canyon? Not really what I consider ideal learning grounds.. Any way, if the op sees this, sorry for heckling and I wish you all possible success and fun! Be careful!
