Top section in Glencree is ridiculously steep and littered with trees. Bank inspected from the confluence with stream from Lough Bray Lower to confluence with stream from Lough Bray Upper. Nice, defined drops and constrictions. Some landing on rocks but may be cushioned when water is high enough to run. Trees tend to obstruct lead in or exit from most drops.
By the time the Wicklow Way meets the river it has lost all it's altitude and is reasonably flat.
