Knife's Edge

Description

Scout early from the river-right sloping rock face.

The standard line here is the S-curve: ride a very narrow shelf on far river-right, then to drop off the shelf and snake your way between two large boulders. The middle route, just left of the first boulder, is dangerous at low water, as there's a nasty pothole which caused a fatality in 1987. Finally, for the adventuresome, there's a niche boof way river right. Better not drop off the shelf early, as you'll be in a world of hurt in the rocky channel down there. If you don't like the look of the rapid, there's a sneak to the river left of the whole thing.

Difficulty ranges from III-V+ depending on flow and line.
