Beer Kill

Hmm. Did Ted just run this one?
This is the rapid immediately upstream of the one with
the sieve. A lot of the Beer Kill looks like this.
This is the crux move in the slide. There's a little
entrance move, then the boof, and then you can pretty
much bang your way down the remaining fifty feet,
until it necks down into a 5 foot wide slot that spits
you out into a pool. Very cool rapid.
This one might actually be runnable with mucho safety
and scouting.
This one is definitely not runnable, but it sure is
pretty.
This is the last significant drop on the run. It's a fun
boof, but the cave on the right and wood on the left
make it interesting.

It's not really too visible in this shot, but the moss
covered rock forms an ugly sieve. I've run the left to
right move above the sieve, but the better line is right
of the boulder in the center. It does get a little bony at
lower flows though.
This is the first big rapid below the portage at Hanging
Rock Falls. The key is to have a little right angle as you
come off the vertical drop, because most of the flow
wants to push you left into an undercut.
Ted runs a nice line through the unfortunately named
'Assmaster.'
