Class IV The river bends right, then back to the left before entering the lead-in to Thread the Needle.

The easiest way to scout is to get out before the lead in and walk all the way down the left bank until below the rapid, then climbing atop a large boulder to look back upstream at the one clear route through Thread the Needle that exists center-left.

The other lines are sieve-ridden, but the main line is straight forward. Just below the narrow chute is a runout with fun waves with a rock to avoid against the left bank.
