Description
Slideways is a technical Class IV drop with a complex entry that requires precise boat positioning and momentum to navigate the initial diagonal boulder garden. Paddlers must thread a narrow line between a powerful recirculating hole on river left and a series of sharp rocks on the right, with minimal margin for error before launching over a 8-10 foot vertical waterfall.
