I think I remember seeing a link on here to some video of Barberry? Can someone post a link?

This what you're looking for? :wink:

This was during the first known descent. Video has water spots on the lens due to the rain that fell the entire trip. Others have some footage from follow-up runs which is clearer. Not sure if they are on the net.

Barberries make me swim. I hadn't seen that in a couple of years and remembered one of the things I didn't like about the creek was the relative abscence of eddies. Not to say there weren't eddies, just not as many as I would have liked. Also I can say with absolute experience you need to be in excellent physical condition for this creek because if you decide to portage anything it requires extreme physical exertion. I know - I portaged.
