Description
Entrapment city! The river right channel drops into a killer pothole. The center channel is the only one that goes, but it is a tricky move and you face the very real possibility of blowing it and heading down the left channel backwards. The river left channel stairsteps down with a bad vertical pin spot that is hard to miss.
