Description
The second major drop in the gorge can easily be boat scouted since it's steepness slows down the upstream current enough to approach the edge, while not being so steep you can't see what you're getting in to.
There is a small eddy along the right just below the initial drop, however it's difficult to enter since the drop curves to the left and momentum brings the boater into the second half (2B) of this section.
