Description

This begins with easy bobbling rapids leading into a turn. Beyond the turn, the water picks up speed considerably in a fast, wavy chute, finisheing with a broken ledge of about 3' (surprise!). Generally you want to run the ledge either far-right or far-left with angle back towards center. Be aware that the large eddy on the right at the bottom is squirrely and feeds back upstream with some force!
