Description
Small cliff faces loom right and left and the river make a sharp right hand then immediate left hand turn. A small rocky island close to the left shore divides the current at the entrance to the rapid and can be negotiated either side depending on flow. A large hole can lurk in the main drop and again the line is dependent on flow. At higher flows this rapid has a more radical appearance pillowing dramatically on the cliff at the outside of the left hand turn.
