Relaying this message from the River Ranger, Brandon Backman . . . he
just left me a message with a little more detail. His message was this:
"There is a giant root wad tree hanging in the area of the "fang" rock
in lower zig zag canyon, extending from river left down towards the
middle of the river. There is not enough information at this time as
to whether the tree extends all the way to river right as well. At
this time, the lower zig zag canyon should be considered a portage
until more is scouted on this drop. A slight move - class VI - could
be made on river left, directly alongside the left wall. However, if
the line were to be missed, it could be a very bad situation."
Please be very careful and contact those who run the Truss often, for
updated situations. I'm sure Brandon, or one of the Hood River crew,
will update pdxkayaker. Be safe out there!
