Description
Highway to Hell is a treacherous Class V rapid featuring a high-speed slide that terminates in an aggressive, retentive hole capable of flipping or trapping boats. Paddlers must execute a precise entry with minimal margin for error, carefully threading between exposed rocks and maintaining speed to punch through the terminal hydraulic, with serious consequences for missed lines or hesitation.
