Description
Triple Step is a technical Class IV rapid with a series of three distinct drops that require precise boat positioning and momentum. Paddlers must navigate tight slots between large boulders, managing powerful hydraulics and avoiding potential pin spots, with the crux move involving a quick transition between the stepped descents. A clean line demands expert boat control and the ability to quickly read and react to the rapid's dynamic water features.
