Description
Entrance Exam is a challenging section characterized by tight technical maneuvers between closely spaced boulders and potential undercut rocks. Paddlers must navigate precise lines with minimal margin for error, demanding advanced boat control and quick decision-making in a compressed vertical space. The rapid requires careful scouting and a clean, deliberate approach to avoid potential pin or entrapment hazards.
