Description

Grand Finale, the last large rapid has a committing long class IV lead in via small pools on the left followed by a powerful move to ferry out into the outwash of a hole to avoid being pushed into the cliff on the left. It can be portaged easily on the right but only if you stop before entering it. Those who run the left entry moves will have to run the main drop.
