The current nominee for the Gnar Monkey award. Selections include rapids known for sickening carnage or people who face such rapids and repeatedly defy them.
The current selection is Big Falls on the South Fork of the Payette in Idaho. This gnarly rapid has been famous throughout history for dealing out nasty beatings, swims and carnage. It is a worthy nomination for the Gnar Monkey Award!

CREATURE CRAFT BEATDOWN
Nasty experience with a creature craft at Big Falls. Proof these boats are not infallible!
Wow! An impressive collection of Big Falls videos all of which display the gnarly nature of this rapid and its eminence as one of Idaho and the West's most challenging rapids.
