The big scary death slot (Marshall)
At the beginning of SRT we began to her talk of a section of the river called death slot. I talked to a returning keener and he said it was a nasty undercut/sive so a mix of the name and Liev’s description I was understandably scared. We arrived at the death-slot and my worries vanished. The death slot was a thin little class 1 section of white water Stevo named that way so his friends would go play games with him. We played in the death slot practicing get over logs in moving water we did this through defensive and offensive tactics which were really hard. Today we went back to the death slot after a not very fun portage we practiced getting over and under logs in the whitewater which was harder that it seemed however still a ton of fun. After we finished at the deathslot we continued down the easy white water where I ran my first pour over without intentionally flipping to be saved and it was quite fun. After a few experiences with the death slot I realized that it was a spot on the river that I would like to return to soon.
