The one in the video, best rapid on that river excepts for the waterfalls. I can't think of the name of the river but it is in that closed in canyon. I will post the video link again.

OK I'm assuming you're referring to that last rapid in your Rio Tecolapan video of a somewhat walled-in 1.5 m drop into a big hole.  You guys did the first descent of it so it is appropriate for you to name it: "Drain of the World" sounds good to me.  I actually vividly recall that drop, getting out on RL to scout and even considering a portage given the strong recirculation into the hole.  However, I decided to just go for it, running it on RR by the wall, and came through fine.

Portage is strongly not recomended, no way the swim can be worse than the carry. Well that what it looked like.
