Scouted. Set up for a clean R > L run with an aggressive downstream ferry from top right, kissing the right horn on my way in. Got pushed HARD right both subsequent center/R holes into lower right rock. ~8000cfs. Badness ensues. Got a gorgeous view from my 6min helo ride. The NPS flight crew were super pro, as was my care team at Flagstaff Medical Ctr! Headed home for definitive surgery to repair a yucky ankle fracture. Not sure exactly how I fractured it, maybe as the boat was capsizing, and I got wedged between the captains boxes in the footwell, or smashed under the frame it banged against the rock upside down busted a bunch on f straps, but the rig held together well (rig to flip!). Hopefully you can come back another day for a clean run! Stay safe-ish out there, kids.
