Description

This jumble of boulders creates multiple lines with personalities that change with flow ranges. At lower ranges, there's limited options and a slot. Medium flows create a counterclockwise weak whirlpool in the main rapid, which is fun to ride if you're expecting it. This washes out at higher flows but the water gets squirrelly and play gets interesting. There's one or two boof lines with at least one rock to cut your knuckle on (Cory T. 2015).
