Description

After you have worked back to river center you will find two 6' haystack waves that are a lot of fun. Once past these, you want to get hard right (at 1700 cfs - 1 generator) or left (at 3000 cfs - 2 generators) in order to prepare for the final 90-degree right-hand corner. This last part contains (among many others) the wrap rock known as the Ego Bruiser. At one generator you can catch the safety eddy on the right below Hells Corner and prepare for the Dragon. At 2 generators these two class IV rapids run in succession.
