Description
Enter in roughly the center a few feet to the right of a small flake / rooster tail. Drop down a few feet and proceed with the main flow left of the large rock slab in the middle of the rapid (with a slight overhanging rock feature). This move is followed up by a 10 foot boof into a large eddy on river left.
