Description
This is a two part rapid with a tricky end. There is a fairly steep but open lead in to a big eddy on the right. The lower drop must be run on the far left because of a sticky ledge guarding the center and right. However a strong curling diagonal wave guards the left and must be punched. This diagonal often typewriters boats all the way across into the rocks on river right where a strong eddy can feed them back into the ledge hole. It caused more problems at 1100 cfs than at 800 cfs.
