Description

A significant rock outcropping river-left, as the flow trips though numerous waves, diagonals, and holes, finishing up with "Dave's Wave". Below this wave the flow spreads out across a massive field of shallow rocks which will be brutal on anyone who flips and misses their first roll attempt or who is out of their boat. (Best line of egress is usually to stay far right.)
