Description
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Long, complex rapid with many routes, some of which you may not have intended to run. Very busy rapid, and not a place to flip - head and rib injuries have occured here. Classic line is down the center below the top boulder, or right. A few runs left have been made. Hole at bottom left will flip but not keep you. There's a good video attached. Easy portage left if desired.
