Description

Club Dues is a technical Class V rapid with a complex series of boulder-strewn drops and tight channel constrictions that demand precise boat positioning and expert-level river reading. The rapid features multiple mandatory moves around undercut rocks and a critical entrance move that requires threading a narrow slot between two hydraulic features, with severe consequences for missed lines. Paddlers must have strong boat control and be prepared for potential pin or entrapment hazards in the boulder garden.
