Description
Hole in the Wall is a technical Class IV- drop featuring a tight boulder-choked channel with a mandatory hard left move to avoid a powerful riverwide hydraulic. Paddlers must navigate a narrow entrance with precise boat positioning, then execute a quick eddy turn to skirt the central hole while managing steep, irregular pour-overs. Significant consequence exists for missed lines, with potential for serious pin or recirculation hazards in the main hydraulic.
