Description
This slide/ledge rapid presents a technical descent with multiple potential lines through a rocky constriction. Paddlers should anticipate careful route selection to navigate between scattered mid-stream boulders and potential undercut formations, with the primary challenge being precise boat positioning and momentum control through the narrow channel.
