Description
A striped rock on river right center, signals this rapid.  The rapid constricts to the left over the initial drops. A wonderful wave train bends to the right. At high flows the left cliff wall can rip rafts.    At many flows, the wave train provides excellent surfing and or nose stands.   Good eddies provide return service.
