Description

The river narrows and drops quickly into a big hole.  There is a nasty recirculating eddy on river left and a wall on river right.  Scout from river right.  This rapid is named in honor of a friend who left part of his tooth in this rapid.  The "Tooth Ferry" took the tooth but I don't think my friend found a quarter under his pillow!
