Description
This rapid was named after a lost camera part carried by Scott Underhill in one of the first descents back in the 80's. This rapid deserves a good scouting. Take out on river right about two ledge drops below the small concrete bridge and scout. The rapid takes a hard right through a shallow rocky drop then takes a left dropping precipitously over three ledge drops. The final drop contains a tight slot that is often clogged with wood. The most common run is boofing a rocky pourover to the left of the slot.
