Description
Three Rock Falls is an extremely technical Class V+ waterfall descent with multiple large, closely-spaced boulder obstacles creating complex hydraulics and narrow route selection. Paddlers must precisely navigate a steep, constricted line between three prominent mid-stream rocks, avoiding powerful recirculating holes and managing significant vertical drop with minimal margin for error. Extreme caution is required, with mandatory scouting, potential portage, and high risk of pin or severe consequence if the line is missed.
