Description

The last significant rapid of the run. Another broken ledge of basement rock with multiple chutes and channels. Most people go for either of the two channels farthest right. Once in the chute be ready for strange laterals and converging currents. At the bottom of this one congratulate yourself (if things went well), for you have completed one of Alaska's classic advanced whitewater runs!
