Description
(Some call it "Come Home to Jesus," but that sounds too much like a rapid on the Lower Meadow. I prefer this name.) After a couple of eddies, the signature of this rapid is a big, munching hole, which is grabby enough to give a serious beatdown to some excellent boaters. You can avoid it with a right-to-left boof, or you can sneak it down the far right, or if you're really ballsy, you can try to punch the hole. (Tell yer buds to have a throw rope handy.)
