Description

Easily scouted from the rocks on river right. At most levels you can paddle right up to the lip of this and get out there. This rapid goes down a ledge starting left and moving toward the center right of the river bed. There is a flake on the left side of the ledge that does not offer as smooth a boof as it looks and often leads into the cave on river left. Take the tongue from left to right and you'll plug a bit more but have a smooth line through the rapid.
