Slice and Dice

Slice and Dice is rated Class III. Beware swims here can be nasty. The rocks lurking at Washing Machine are sharp and the rapid lived up to its name! The opening move is either dropping the big ledge called Dragon Slayer just left of center. Watch the video carefully for cues. There is a bad hazard called Ankle Breaker if you drop the ledge too far left. Be careful not to lose guest dropping this high ledge. If someone pops out make sure you recover them ASAP! As mentioned above swimming Washing Machine is likely to create injuries. If your ran the ledge successfully and quickly work right and point upstream you will see a surf opportunity.

Alternately there is a ramp move closer to the river left bank to avoid the big ledge. If you take this route follow the current. You will angle right and charge between gate rock as your drop a smaller ledge.

After successfully running either of these options you will head toward the center of the river to run the obvious tongue through Washing Machine. The sticky hole will be to your left. This part of the rapid is made up of offset holes. There are some great splash opportunities in the run out. Watch for kayakers in the shallow river left eddy or better still catch the river right eddy and regroup with your trip.
