CLR Rapid Class

Definition

Extremely long, obstructed, or very violent rapids which expose a paddler to added risk; drops may contain large, unavoidable water waves and holes or steep, congested chutes with complex, demanding routes.

Description

What eddies exist may be small, turbulent, or difficult to reach. Rapids may continue for long distances between pools, demanding a high level of fitness. At the high end of the scale, several of these factors may be combined. Scouting is recommended but may be difficult.
