Description

One of 5-6 nice class III rapids in the second half of the Hepco Run, and often the most challenging. 

This rapid can be run in several ways. There is a center slot which you can enter with some left boat angle and then exit the rapid in the main flow. There is a boulder in the center of the flow so you'll have to make a choice when you approach it. There are two left entrances, one that takes you far left or you enter on your right edge and it shoots you into the center current. Avoid the far right side of this rapid as there is a dangerous undercut on the right. If unsure, scout on the right bank.
