Description

Tom Playing on the Ytri Ranga
The first easy section is followed by slightly harder grade in after which a fall looms. At the top of this fall start left, then head right missing the large hole. A flat section leads to the "keyhole". A 100 metres above the road bridge is a very narrow gap (lm) followed by a large boil. A few boring bits leads to a good play section. Go left of the island and aim for the far right side of the channel. The drop is excellent for popouts. The river then passes a campsite with a small river wide playhole. More flat sections before the action returns, choose the left channel again and then stick to the right hand side. A big drop approaches. Take it on the left voiding the sharp rock in the centre. The bottom pool is very deep. There is a small grade III section before egressing on the right hand side.
