Description

A very appropriately named rapid.  A large boulder pinches the creek against the left wall.   The water slides down the wall, then drops under the boulder.   I have not seen anyone actually smack their head on the roof, but I have seen them piton the wall and the bottom if they enter a bit from the right.  

 

Enter hugging the left wall and it is generally a clean drop.
