Les Frangins (Brothers)
Description
The first class IV drop. There are two routes separated by a small rock island in the center of the river.
Pull off on river-right just upstream of the island to scout.
The left route is a creeky steep drop over a ledge into a squirrly eddy below the island.
The right route is pushy at high or medium levels, going past multiple overlapping holes as the channel bends to the left. At the base of the rock island is the biggest drop with a large hole extending out from the right bank. There was a fatality here in 1993 [1995?] where a raft flipped in extreme high water. Go left (or far left) to avoid.
At the bottom punch thru one large reflecting wave into the flat area.
