Pyramid

A large swirly eddy appears on the river left side of a right-hand bend, shortly after an unnamed Class II below Rothrock Hole. This is the top of Pyramid, widely regarded as the most technical rapid on the Black Mo. Start down the right side through the first drop. One can then either stay off to river right or cut left afterwards for the second drop. Going left takes one toward Pyramid Rock, the triangle-shaped rock that gives the rapid its name. The right side of Pyramid Rock makes for a decent boof at medium flows and above. At 10” and higher, another boof comes in off a rock on the far right side of the second drop. To the right side of that rock is a zig zag slot line and a couple of cool micro eddies to catch for boats shorter than 9 ft in length.
