Description

The biggest and steepest individual slide. Be careful at this one, there is a nasty piton rock at the bottom that wants to send short creek boats into the "over the bars" mode. In other words, you piton, then face plant.

Scout from behind the large boulder, river right. There is a hidden 6 boat eddy behind the rock. You'll know this is the big one when you come around the corner and see tree tops way on past the horizon line. Easiest portage is on the right.
