Narrows: Below Sunshine zimmerdj New

	The hike is beautiful but very strenuous. Especially for such a short run. As far as the run goes, I am comfortable creeking Tallulah, LRC, Tellico, etc, and have run the Narrows one time a couple years ago (walked several other rapids than the big 3). The lower section was tighter than I remembered and very shallow- lots of pinning potential, some hazardous spots, and very dangerous/painful to be running rapids upside down. Hammer Factor, although it can be walked, is for sure a Class 4+/5- rapid, especially with toilet bowl just above. It is a trickier move than many rapids on the runs mentioned above. Just my two cents. Nat
