White Lightning
White Lightning
Class IV This rapid creates the largest horizon on the run, and is full of good sized, fun hydraulics. It is easily scouted along the left bank, but be prepared to get creative stopping over there, there is not an obvious eddy to park in.
Like Big Bend, there is a right and left route, unlike Big Bend both of these routes are worthwhile. The right side is more ledgey with plucky holes, while the left is a long, low angle ramp through consistent, offset hydraulics.
