Description

A relatively short but steep rapid ends in a river wide ledge hole that can be very sticky. The left bank is a cliff. You can scout on that side but you can't portage or set safety. The right bank is boulders. Set safety, scout or portage on the right. Note that the right side boulder is undercut and a strong eddy feeds under it and then into the hole.
