Description

The rapid is an S-bend left and back to the right, followed by a series of waves and holes. A right-side sneak line is possible. At flows above about 3', it's possible to sneak the whole rapid; below this, the S-bend is mandatory, but the bottom half is sneak-able. Some people consider this and Killer Bridge to be a single long rapid.
