Description
Mustang is a powerful Class V waterfall rapid that drops sharply through a narrow, boulder-strewn channel, requiring precise boat positioning and expert-level technical skills. Paddlers must navigate a series of hydraulic holes and avoid undercut rocks while executing a critical left-side line that threads between two large mid-stream boulders, with little margin for error and significant consequences for missed moves.
