Description
A long straight, but congested rapid with multiple slalom routes ends with even greater congestion. A line of boulders create holes and boof opportunities across the entire width except for the far right. An upstream line of boulders guards the right side and prevents a straight approach.
A common line is to enter center or left, then when it opens up head down the center. At 800 cfs many people could cut to the right at the bottom between the two lines of boulders to run the clean exit. At 1100 cfs the right cut is much harder and most people charged through the bottom boulders where ever they ended up.
