Description
Take Out is a technical Class IV rapid characterized by a narrow, boulder-strewn channel with multiple potential pin and entrapment hazards. The primary line requires precise boat positioning to thread between undercut rocks and a powerful mid-river hydraulic, with minimal margin for error. Paddlers should scout carefully and be prepared for immediate rescue and recovery in the event of a capsize.
