South Branch Middle Feather V

South Branch has earned the distinction of being perhaps the cleanest run in the Sierras. the first few miles consist of some easy class 2 boogie that gives way to some fun class 4. Soon, there is a mandatory gorge rapid that marks the beginning of the goods. From here down it is one perfect drop after another, until the perfect 50 at the take-out.
