Description
Guide Ejector is a technical Class III rapid known for its tight, boulder-strewn channel that requires precise boat positioning and strong paddle skills. The crux of the rapid involves navigating a series of staggered rocks in the main current, with a notable hydraulic hole on river right that can quickly flip or spin boats if not avoided. Paddlers should scout this rapid and be prepared to make quick, decisive moves to successfully thread through the narrow slots and avoid potential pin or entrapment hazards.
