Day two was supposedly the easiest day on the river. Our goal was it to paddle to Tehipite Valley or even further, to maybe start with the Bottom Nine and paddle out the next day. As things turned out it was pretty challenging for Manu and myself. Rok and Darin were leading and bombing so we followed which turned out to be pretty stressful in a few rapids. We didn`t take any pictures that day so the only footage I have is some Gopro video...
The biggest slide we portaged that day was "The Big Bad Beaver". A true norwegian kind of monsterslide, in the middle of nowhere with a tight entrance line and a big exit... None of us was eager to test our skills on that...

We made it to the camping spot at Tehipite Dome at noon, and then decided to spend the afternoon and the night since camping on the "Bottom Nine" appearently is not very good and we were very fast in schedule anyways. It would have only made sence to keep going if we would have liked to finish the next day.
