Description

This rapid marks the beginning of boulders that have fallen from high. A tight undercut slot move leads into a tricky approach to a drop with a nasty boxed in hole on the right and a tight sneak on the left. Right at the crux a 25 foot cascade called Lichen Falls comes in on the left, increasing the aesthetics of the rapid. Easy portage on river left if needed.
