Description
A little easier than Second Pitch but a lot longer. Same line just left of center avoiding a large hole/pour over near the bottom just to the right of river center. There are a few big wave surfing opportunities accessed from some micro eddies on river left. Once again there is a technical sneak route on river right. This Third Pitch sneak route is more difficult than the two previous ones. Make sure you pull well right of the pour over near the bottom of the rapid. There is a short pool below Third Pitch that leads right up to Smooth Ledge.
