The Ledge

RapidClass III

Description

Things pick up a notch with The Ledge, a 2-part rapid that starts out with easy class II waves split by a boulder left of center. Run either side and eddy out behind this boulder to set up a fun little glassy wave surf just below. From here a strong wave train is bordered on the right by a slab pourover squeezing the river over to the left and into a large pool above the 2nd part, which names the rapid. The Ledge (CL III) is a slide into a 4-ft drop and hole on the right or a steeper, bit of gnarl into a set of narrow holes and then a 2-ft ledge and hole on the left. The routes are split by a 25-ft wide and sweet hole at the top. Run the right over a curl wave. Be careful where you go over the bottom left at higher levels as this ledge drop is more vertical in nature and recirc is possible.
