Warp 2

Rapid

Description

Huge boulders dam the river and form a nice long pool.    The spillway between the boulders is a big ramp and accelerates boaters to almost 2 times light speed, hence the name.   Scout from either side, but the left side is probably better for setting safety.     The base of the spillway can develop a sticky hole or boaters can flush through with minimal carnage.    The large boulder immediately downstream on the right which makes for a good vantage point is completely undercut.   It seems to be smooth enough that the few boaters I have seen go under have flushed right on out the other side.

Warp 2 is impressive in itself but it is only the entrance drop of a long and serious class 5 section, which ends with Cassady Falls.
