Description
Fight Club is a technical Class V rapid featuring a complex boulder garden with multiple tight, irregular lines requiring precise boat positioning and immediate decision-making. The crux moves involve navigating a series of offset ledge drops with powerful recirculating holes and minimal margin for error, with the most critical line running hard driver's left to avoid a potentially deadly center pin rock.
