Description
Take Out rapid on Yosemite Creek represents an extremely technical and rarely run section with potential for serious consequences due to the steep gradient and tight boulder-choked terrain. The rapid requires precise boat positioning and expert-level reading of complex water features, with multiple potential pinning and impact zones that demand absolute precision and immediate route selection. Extreme caution is advised, as this section is more of a technical descent than a traditional whitewater run, and requires comprehensive scouting and potentially significant portaging.
