Class IV-IV+ Pipeline Rapid is just around the corner from Boulder Nest, and easy to scout from boulders along the right bank.

You can be sure you are there because a white pipeline crosses the canyon downstream and is readily visible from the top of the rapid. The rapiditself is a ledge with a severe hole at medium and high flows on the left, and ugly rocks on the right.

There is a clean boof that allows boaters to clear theleft-side hole, but a mistake would likely provide quite a ride. There is also a ramp to the left of the boof, but boaters running that line often hit the left wall which extends into the landing.

At lower flows the hole is less sticky, but the boof is also less clean. Take a look and make a choice yourself. The portage is a short one on the right.
