first rapid

The first horizion line yoy see splits around a bedrock outcropping, to the right of the rock, the drop is rated class III/IV and to the left, the drop is rated class IV. The line to the right has some rocks in the hydraulic at the base, so hitting the correct line is critical. The line to the left drops into a deceptively sticky hydraulic. Get out to scout on the side of the river you want to run. If you are going to carry, the right side is preferred.
