Description

This rapid has a meaningful hole in the top middle at ~2400cfs. There was a narrow, smooth line down the left and a more extensive smooth line down the right, but had to cut back left at the bottom (after passing the hole) to miss a rock. Just go right or left to avoid the top center hole and read-and-run from there.
