Description

A technical rapid with multiple boulder-choked channels requiring precise route finding and skilled maneuvering. Large midstream boulders create unpredictable hydraulics and narrow passages, demanding sharp boat control and the ability to quickly adjust line and momentum to avoid potential pin or collision hazards.
