Description

A short pool separates the wright stuff from Flumes of Doom. Enter right, catch an eddy under a large boulder on the left. Then, ferry across and boof the rock on the right. You don't want to end up left, as a pin would be very likely. The runnout continues as the river bends around a corner to the left. On the outside (river right) of the corner, there is a potentially nasty boulder seive. It's not an issue if you're in your boat, but it could be bad for a swimmer. Flumes is my favorite rapid on this section.
