Description

This is a long rapid with a lefthand entryway that's technical at lower flows and pushy at higher flows. Move right through the entry to avoid the boily pocket and undercut rock on the left. Launch the lip of the drop at the bottom to clear the hole, which can get big at high water.

This is a good one to scout from the left.
