Description

The most identifiable and classic drop on this run. There's usally some random out-of-towners at the pulloff looking down on you commenting on how extreme you are.  A hard left hand turn brings you to an impressive horizon line.  It's easier to scout it while setting shuttle.  There's a big pull-off, and a trail down to the river.  The run starts traditionally eddy-hopping down the right side high up, then making an easy hairy-ferry type move to get to the left side to setup for the 8 footer/auto-boof thing that lands in a nice eddy big enough for your crew.
