Description
This moderate Class II rapid features a series of small, closely spaced rocky waves that create a consistent wavetrain through a relatively narrow channel. Paddlers should navigate carefully between scattered boulder clusters, maintaining a center-right line to avoid potential pin spots and maintaining momentum through the choppy water. Moderate technical skills are required to read and react to the changing water surface and rock placement.
