Description
The Wall is a technical Class III rapid featuring a steep, boulder-studded drop with multiple complex lines that demand precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. The primary challenge lies in navigating a series of diagonal hydraulics and a narrow constriction near river center, with significant potential for boat pinning if paddlers drift off the main channel. Skilled paddlers should scout this section from river right and be prepared for abrupt direction changes and potential side-surfing in the central hole.
