Yea you are right - the Twin Lakes boys pioneered that run for a lot of us who have came after. I also have the vhs of the paralyzer run in a raft and I dont think it has been done since either. The duckie runs of all that stuff is still super fun to watch and there is even a "left" line on the paralyzer in a duck on the film!! The mini-me runs of the cauldron was not even close to a first d - again the Twin Lakes boys did all of that but it sure is fun!

I guess lately the levels at which folks run the lower 4 has come down since the late 90's and even the early 00's. There seems to be a "elf" crew who loves to get up there at 180 cfs or lower but folks need to remember that it is not even the same game as 500 cfs +.. This has allowed folks to run some of the stuff up there some years into August.


Sure that someday someone will run the paralyzer in a raft again but it sure as hell will not be me!

Well I guess you got me on that one. John Placek told me the name the day after the first descent run. I'm sure he said Parrylyzer, as it was a good play on words, but I guess I remembered wrong
