Description
There are multiple routes thru this rapid, the standard one being start river right, go over the first three foot ledge, then start working back to the left to avoid some rocks. The advanced move is to run the toaster slot. This is a slot move thrust a three foot wide crack, under an overhanging rock. At flows above 5 feet this rapid develops a nearly riverwide hole that should be paddled around on the left. Around 2 feet on the gauge the left side grows a nice cartwheel hole. Below this there are several class II-II+ rapids
