Son of Clavey is a Class III+ to IV- rapid located immediately downstream of the famous Clavey Falls on the Tuolumne River, characterized by steep drops over rocks with the left side offering a more gradual descent.

At moderate flows, the best route starts left of center and finishes right of center, though the rapid is difficult to scout from above.

This rapid marks the transition from the intense whitewater of Clavey Falls to the more moderate rapids that continue for the remaining 12+ miles to Ward's Ferry take-out.
