Description
Reach Around is a technical Class IV rapid in the Narrows section with a complex entry requiring precise boat positioning to thread between two large boulder obstacles. The rapid features a powerful offset hole in the center that demands an aggressive right-to-left move to avoid being trapped, with consequences for missed lines including potential pin or flip hazards.
