Description
This moderate Class III rapid features a technical entry through a boulder-strewn channel with multiple potential lines, requiring precise boat positioning to avoid potential pin hazards. The primary challenge comes from a diagonal hydraulic midway through the rapid that can create surfing opportunities or potential flip risks for less experienced paddlers, with the recommended line favoring the right side of the channel where water flow is more predictable.
