Description

Somewhere before Welcome To Sauty is a rapid commonly referred to as "Tits" which looks totally harmless and unremarkable from the top.  There are two rocks in the middle of the creek and the right bank is ledgy and exposed.  The right rock will be covered at levels around 12 inches, but the pillow should still be visible.  Left rock will be visible at most levels.  Run in between the two rocks, do not go to the right of the right rock  It pinches against the bank on the right which is undercut with just enough of a gap to form a sieve that loves to collect logs.  A few close calls here just due to not knowing the hazard and line.
