Description
Daug Haus is a technical Class V rapid characterized by a steep, boulder-choked descent with multiple hazardous drops and tight lines between undercut rocks. The rapid requires precise boat control and quick decision-making, with a critical move through a narrow channel that punishes even minor route errors and presents significant pinning and entrapment risks. Paddlers must navigate a series of powerful hydraulics and execute a precise entry and mid-rapid move to avoid potentially fatal consequences.
