Description

Start with a 4 foot tall boof, into a tricky class 3 entrance rapid. Then take a left and line up for the big plunge. A ten foot tall 45 degree slide into a sometimes interesting hole followed by a large pool. At lower water, you want to skirt just left of the right center in-stream boulder and stay right of the curler on the way down.
