Description

Hypermart is a technical Class IV rapid characterized by a steep, boulder-strewn descent with multiple complex hydraulics and tight threading between large mid-river rocks. Paddlers must navigate a narrow, technical entrance with a powerful diagonal hole on the river-right side, then quickly transition to precise boat positioning to avoid dangerous pin spots in the lower section's rocky constriction.
