Description
The Exterminator Rapid presents a technical Class II challenge with a series of closely spaced, moderate-sized rocks creating multiple potential routes and requiring precise boat positioning. Paddlers should be prepared to navigate a tight, technical line with potential for catching eddies between boulders, and be aware of potential underwater obstacles that can create unexpected hydraulics. The rapid demands good river reading skills and the ability to make quick, decisive maneuvers to avoid potential pinning or broaching hazards.
