Description

A group of friends all blundered into this hole at high flows once, with ensuing carnage.   At low flows you tend to blast through.   I forget where it is easiest to punch, maybe on the right edge.   I generally forget where I am til the last second and frantically charge off the left edge as the current tends to put you over there.

 

The rapid is a long, fast, shallow rocky rapid that steadily steepens then suddenly turns right and drops over a small bedrock ledge.
