The Upper Cheak section on the Cheakamus is the classic Class IV of British Columbia. Continuous rapids with interesting features makes it a great run to lap over and over! In total I put about 20 laps on the Upper Cheak, and I chose this run because it was at a nice ~2.5 flow, and we didn't stop for eddies, making it easy for you to see what the whole run is really like.
I ran the section first at just above 2.6 on the take out gauge, and it wasn't significantly harder than the size/pushiness shown in the video. Liquid Lore (see link below) has some good beta regarding flows and difficulty level.

A big thanks to Annie Lagueux, Denny Lenge, Dave Prothero and Gerrard Meszaros for showing me down my first lap, and Josh Plankeel, Monique Boag, Steve McGeragle, Mike Curran and Alsek Watt for doing the Balls to the Wall section when flows dropped (didn't get GoPro footage of the Balls section).
Thanks to Cody Adams (@codyadamskayak) for the thumbnail photo!
