Description
Grandmas Pantry Falls is a technical Class V drop featuring a complex, boulder-strewn entrance with multiple must-make moves through tight channels and potential undercut rocks. The rapid demands precise boat control and route-finding, with a critical line that requires threading between powerful hydraulics and avoiding a potentially dangerous river-left rock formation that can create serious pin or entrapment hazards.
