Pincushion

The crux rapid on the run. At medium and high flows the cleanest line is down the left side boofing and weaving some covered boulders and a few holes. At low water this line becomes jumbled with pin potential. An alternative line is to sneak down the right side sliding over some bedorck to arrive at a pool above a large bedrock finger on river right. From there you can peel out into the main flow mid rapid, or hairy-fairy to an eddy river left and pick your way down from there. Some call catching the left eddy below the main pitch "the whipstich," in keeping with the rapid's theme.
