"Lunch Rock Follies"
Description
AKA 'Rocky Road', AKA 'Round the Mountain'. Small waves and ledges. The name 'Round the Mountain' might be better thought of as a specific (mostly by hardboats - class II+) way of running this rapid, which is to run just to the right of a large rock at the beginning right of the rapid, but then stay as left as possible and run a tongue across the face of the rapid. Where this tongue confronts the main current in the middle of the rapid, this line necessarily becomes a ferry, then where the two currents merge, a tongue again. A great way to learn how to run a rapid with conflicting currents. The rapid can also be run straight on (usually by rafts and duckys) which requires some manuvering because of the non-aligning tongues through the small ledges.
