Today was another personal first running the Skootama River near Flinton, Ontario.
We had twenty open boats and a couple kayaks on the river.
Nobody in the group had ever been on the river so we had to boat and land scout as we went.
Pretty much everyone walked around the first big feature due to the massive ice chunk was hanging above what looked like the normal line to take.
The two people that decided to run it and got stuck in the big ass hole had to be roped out.
The 1.2km canyon run is amazing ... too bad I had to miss taking my time in order to chase a boat and run a big drop on a blind corner.
I will definitely be going back for that run next spring.
Was 17.4 on the online gauge
