Description
This intense Class IV rapid demands precise navigation through a series of powerful, closely spaced hydraulics and sharp rocky constrictions. Paddlers must execute quick, decisive moves to avoid aggressive holes and negotiate a technical line that requires reading water and maintaining momentum through multiple challenging drops. The quarter-mile section requires full concentration, with minimal margin for error and potential for significant consequences if lines are missed.
