Description
Molly's Nipple is a technical Class IV rapid characterized by a complex series of boulder gardens and tight technical lines through constricted channels. Paddlers must navigate carefully between sharp, partially submerged rocks and a series of powerful hydraulics that can quickly flip or pin boats, requiring precise boat positioning and strategic momentum through the most challenging sections. The rapid demands advanced reading skills and immediate route selection, with significant consequence for missed lines or hesitation.
