Description
A powerful, technical Class IV+ rapid immediately downstream of a massive log crossing the river, requiring precise boat placement to navigate the complex boulder field and avoid deadly pin potential. Paddlers must thread a narrow, technical line between sharp, undercut rocks and a series of hydraulic holes that can quickly flip or trap boats, with minimal margin for error and significant consequence for missed moves.
