Description

This rapid is worth scouting and is generally the rapid most likely to cause mishap in this lower section. The entry is straightforward to the right of center, avoiding a wave hole on the left but once on the tongue you need to pull hard to avoid the "fangs" which are schist fins sticking up in the main flow towards the bottom of the rapid. At higher flows above 15,000 cfs these will likely be covered but scout the rapid to determine if they are in play.
