If you look hard you can see a tiny 10 foot C1 about to run this rapid. Pictures make this rapid seem smaller than it was.
More class II stuff.
This is a surfing ledge just below the big Class III.
The red circle shows a 2-3 foot drop. The yellow line highlights a strainer blocking the river left 2/3's of the rapid.

The takeout is just downstream, unless you are running down BSF gorge.
