It is a solid Class II+/III rapid and the first rapid for anyone starting at the top of the river. The main line is to stay on river right. Rafts and duckies will get stuck on rocks in river left and center near the rapid and it is dangerous for them to stand up, so staying river right is especially important for them. Kayakers have more options and that’s what we’ll discuss here.
