Description
This is a tricky drop that is responsible for most of the swims on Escalante Creek. Fortunately there is a big pool to swim into. Just after the drop the current pulls strongly into an overhanging wall. If you’re upright you can push off of the wall, or just "pogo" of it with your bow - no big whup. If you are upside down ut's unlikely you will be able to roll up.
