Description

Bigger class 2, smaller class 3 on some days; after taking the small boof off the center of the V rock into a small pool it is a river left, center line with a rock on the right you can eddy out behind.  There is a hole closer to the left then and a boof at the end on the right, or you can plunge between the two.  Avoid the rock at the very end can flip you, but there is a large pool afterwards.  This is also a great place to get out on river left, and hike back up to play, run this rapid over and over again.  Rocks are a bit slippery so just watch them.
