Description
Pillage and Plunder is a technical Class V rapid featuring a narrow, boulder-strewn channel with multiple sequential drops and powerful hydraulics that demand precise boat positioning. Paddlers must navigate a tight series of diagonal ledge holes and avoid undercut rocks on both sides, with a critical move required to thread between a large center boulder and a potentially recirculating hole on the river-right side. Scouting is highly recommended, and this rapid presents serious consequence for any missed line or error in boat control.
