Description
This technical Class III rapid features a narrow entry with a powerful midstream boulder that creates a challenging diagonal hydraulic and requires precise boat positioning. Paddlers must navigate a series of tight slots between jagged rocks, with the primary line running just left of center and demanding quick maneuvering to avoid potential pin spots. The rapid's lower section contains recirculating holes on river right that can easily flip boats if paddlers fail to maintain momentum and precise angle.
