Description

AKA "Rocky Road", AKA "Round the Mountain".  Small waves and ledges.  The name "Round the Mountain" might be better thought of as a specific (mostly by hardboats - class II+) way of running this rapid, which is to run just to the right of a large rock at the beginning right of the rapid, but then stay as left as possible and run a tongue across the face of the rapid.  Where this tongue confronts the main current in the middle of the rapid, this line necessarily becomes a ferry, then where the two currents merge, a tongue again.  A great way to learn how to run a rapid with conflicting currents.  The rapid can also be run straight on (usually by rafts and duckys) which requires some manuvering because of the non-aligning tongues through the small ledges.
