Description
I used to think this was a pretty big slide, but I still think it is pretty fun. On my last trip several people ran it twice. There is an easy carry up the slab on river left. Easiest scout is from river left as well.
Since it is a distinctive rapid, it is a good sign that you are approaching the heart of the Cherry Bomb Gorge.
