On 4/28/2024, nine of us ran Washington to Edwards at 2,200 cfs, most of us class IV boaters. The rapid that gave us the most difficulty is the Whirlpool Rapid below the V+ Falls. At 2,200 cfs, the line is enter left, then move with the water to exit right. You enter left to avoid a nasty hole on the right. One of us swam that hole and exited it by going to the bottom. Another paddler who swam it not too long ago said they had been able to exit it from the surface after two merry go-round. Tell your crew: 'Enter left, exit right'.
