Description
The second Class V (V+) rapid of this run, the Brain just looks dumb, all water goes into an undercut rock in middle of river in the middle of the drop. After a few fun rapids upstream, the channelized lead in is straight into a pile of rocks. This rapid has a 24" slot to negotiate and this rapid could stuff you under a few rocks. A good run will put you against the wall at the bottom, or so says Eric Bader. Alternate idea: portage river left, seal-launch from rock in rapid after the junk. This rapid is ugly. The portage is easy, its your call.
