Rocking Chair
Description
Rocking Chair is a little shorter, and more creekier than Rattlesnake, and not far downstream. Some of the flow splits right around a subtle island, making for a good portage/sneak. The island also affords the best scout. Go left at the split and then eddy hard right to scout the main move. Here you want to push river-right and over a small ledge next to a gnarled up Sycamore tree. Just below this point, the island flow over on the right comes screaming down and pushes back left. Avoid going with it by keeping ferry angle to the right and left edge down, before dropping over the second, bigger ledge. Some of the flow at the base of this ledge pushes far left into a bad crack/sieve, that depending on wood contents and water level, is anywhere from a runnable slot to a deadly sieve. Set good safety, make good decisions.
