I always find it hard to judge because there are so many factors. The line is pretty easy if you have some big volume experience and a solid roll, but the potential consequences are nasty and the unpredictable nature of the rapid means eddy lines are full of whirlpools and boils. A swim would be really horrible, but is very unlikely if you've judged your big volume ability well. I'd say grade 4 but with grade 5 consequences because at this level the ledge hole below the rapid is brutal and almost impossible to rescue from. That's a long and vague answer but I really struggle to be decisive on these things!
What class would you consider this
