Description

This next rapid is marked by a rock jumble off the right bank. As with most rapids on this river, there are a couple of ways to run this drop. For the sneak route, stay in the middle of the main flow but keep an eye out for Strippers Hole -- it is deep and unkind! Stay in the flow and you should just pass it on the left. For the creek route, head to the river-right bank, boof between the two boulders at the top, turn and ferry behind the large pourover, then peel-out above Strippers Hole and get in the main flow.
