The entrance rapids to this section.
Sneak route around a large strainer.
The strainer below first ledges.
The second drop is a pretty sweet slide. River left has a generous eddy perfect for setting up for the third drop.
A 4.5-6 foot drop. It was fun but rather grungy at 125cfs.
Shortly after the drop river left has a small eddy that is good to catch in order to set up for the final sequence. Paddle aggressively to make the eddy.

The final sequence has one “must make move” at the very end to avoid a rock spine landing, however, the current tended to push you in the correct direction making it a fairly easy move.

A hard day of work for Andy.
