While running shuttle, we ran into another group at the take-out. Zach of River Hardware, Will, and Michael B agreed to do a second run with us which was great.
The Upper Wind starts off pretty mellow until Initiation, a long class IV. Initiation goes right into Rams Horn, a short drop with a big hole at the bottom. For the next few bends there are numerous class III and IV moves and a rapid called “Balls to the Wall” which, on this day, was a center line with little consequence other than getting stuck.
