One can scout whole section while driving to the put-in. It is worth doing as afterwards you do not have to scout while paddling. In 2012 we put-in below class 5-6 rapids, but it is possible to drive a few km further to see what does the river look like there. Beggining is steep, class 4-5, with a portage in the middle of the rapid.
Afterwards slightly easier, class 4-4+, sometimes even class 3-2, but afterwards with class 4 rapids. River flows through many small gorges. Warning: trees (we had 2 portages due to trees). River is quite small, fast flowing, quite steep. Before the take out tghere is a difficult drop with huge towback (one can portage or take out before it).

This section is more interesting than the upper one. At the beginning slightly easier, but with a few class 5 rapids. First one - small gorge with a siphon at the beginning. One can portage a siphon and put-in the the gorge (if there are eddies) or portage the whole gorge. Next class 5 rapid - a boulder garden (boulders just below the surface) and an undercut. Afterwards a few rapids 4+, big boulders.
At the end of this part there is a drop (1.5 m) with a towback.
Afterwards difficulties are regular, class 3+-4+, all the time quite steep, sometimes a bit easier or a bit harder. Most of the time sounting not necessary (eddy hopping essential though). If it's your first run, you can do a lower section as well.
