Description
Three Doors, one of the largest rapids of the run has a fierce hole halfway through which at some flows can be cheated on the left around a low angled slab. and a second fierce hole at the very end. Sieves wait below the first hole for a beaten and unlucky swimmer so good safety needs to be set here, and the last drop forms a notoriously sticky hole against the right wall which could once be cheated left, but as of April 2007 the cheat is reported gone and has been the scene of bad swimmer recirculations. This rapid is best portaged left against the cliff face rather than at water level.
