Lower Jalacingo
Personal First Descent
Tlapacoyan, Veracruz, Mexico
Extreme Whitewater Kayaking
This long video includes coaching and scouting for every rapid.
It's worth noting that levels change, and this video should not be used in place of paddling with a competent crew and someone who knows this section of the river. We portaged 2 rapids for reasons that will be obvious when you see them. If you miss the take out, there is a 90-foot unrunnable drop. We discuss briefly the story of a crew that ran it by accident.
Huge shout-out to Emmett for guiding me down, giving amazing beta, letting me scout and then giving feedback on my scouting, and coaching me (through the whole week) - which was phenomenal, especially for someone who hasn't had that before.
