Description

The standard line is very clean and simple hugging the river right bank on the way down after Diamond Splitter. Gerbil Muncher has 2 surfs, one of which is on the river left side past the Witches Hole eddy. This surf will rarely be taken up by rafts, but guides will sometimes go for these 2 surfs if time allows. Cutting back from the river left side under the rock ledge that helps form the first surf a smooth pour over rock creates a second surf hole. Peeling out of the second surf hole positions boaters back in the standard current on the river right side.
