About
Challenging; similar character to the section above Fugitive's Drift. Scout all major rapids thoroughly - the gorge is isolated and committing. Some rapids should be portaged. The final 3km through the Posini gorge is somewhat easier. To run only the hardest part, take out earlier at a camp just above the Posini gorge.
