Description
The next rapid is called "Screaming Left" (II+) for the need to make an increasingly strong left turn in the rapid. This rapid, at low levels, can be entered between the river right bank and the middle of the creek. Follow the river right bank through the rapid. If you can catch a river right bank eddy, you can turn upstream and ferry from river right to river left. As you continue down this rapid, which slowly bends to the left be prepared for the large slanting rock at the bottom. At lower levels it is best to avoid the rock by paddling hard to river left. Catching the river left eddy next to the rock provides easy access to a small surfing wave. At higher levels it is easy to splat the rock provided it has a pillow on it.
