Description
After sliding into the pool from the deck there is about 20 feet of flatwater before the first rapid. The first rapid goes about 30 feet before running into the cliff wall and taking a 90 degree left turn.
Its usually run by boofing off a three foot tall ledge in the center aiming between two rocks, then punching a pourover hole before getting typewritered to the left and punching another hole.
The first rapid is one of the more difficult on the river. Just below is a good cartwheel hole.
