Description
Following is a 350-yd-long pool bisected by a class I rapid and ending at Premonition (Cl III/IV), so named because it warns of Moats Falls 100 yds below. Run Premonition close to the right bank and into, or just slipping by, the old "hard-left diagonal bouncing off a rock" routine. The wide dropout in the middle of the main flow creates the most dangerous recirc on this section and can be deadly at higher levels.
