| Description: | The left channel at the bottom of this rapid is particularly dangerous. Though navigable, it is rarely run. You'll note in the photo the undercut rocks that line the left bank. The channel is narrow and congested, and water pushes into the rocks on the left bank with great force. As the channel goes around the bend and out of site, note the 2' crack between the two undercuts on the bank that make a dangerous pinning spot. Also, one more thing of note. The rock wall seen just downstream of this rapid marks the entrance to the next drop, a mandatory portage. You can take out just upstream of the wall, or portage on the right. | |||
