Description

Landslide Constriction is a narrow, technical rapid formed by a recent geological event that has significantly altered the river's flow and terrain. The rapid features unpredictable hydraulics and potential debris from the surrounding landscape, requiring precise navigation and careful scouting to identify the safest line through the constricted channel.
