40 Foot Boulder Sieve

40 Foot Boulder Sieve

Description

Mandatory portage as the flow goes underneath a boulder.    It can be fastest to throw your boat and then jump after, if flows are low enough.   At optimum flows look for ways to lower boats and gear.  One group reported being able to lower to a ledge and then seal launch.

In 2011 at 450cfs several boats filled with water and flushed into the next rapid.  Danielle Tira lost his life in the next rapid below while trying to rescue one of those boats.
