Diamond Splitter

Diamond Splitter is well named as the river splits into two around a massive diamond-shaped rock that stands straight up. This rapid can be run either side, or a cross line with a right entry to a left exit (dangerous). The river right line is the commercial rafting line and most private boater's line, this consists of making way towards the river right side from the exit at Tablesaw between either gate rocks A and B or B and C, gate rock B and C are both potentially pinning rocks. Making way through either gate headed to river right, straighten back up and run the left or center part of the tongue into a curler at the bottom. The left line is slightly less technical of an entrance and will dump straight into Witches Hole, a great surf spot. There is a eddy river left of this hole directly downstream of the Diamond Splitter rapid, this hole is a hydrualic and will sometimes hold swimmers. The main hazard is present for pinned boats and those running the advanced right entry to left exit line, there is a gap slot just upstream of Diamond Splitter rock and just downstream of gate rock C in the center of the river. The advanced line runs just feet above this slot, which was the site of a commercial fatality years ago. DO NOT RUN THE RIGHT TO LEFT LINE UNLESS YOU ARE SURE YOU CAN RUN IT SAFELY (and even then... why?)
