Meatball

Meatball  is a huge high speed steep bedrock flume that currently leads around a blind S bend into 2 gigantic hemlocks crossing the current with a Boulder pinned on those 200 year old logs. Water flows under, between and through the mess. There is even a little cave action on the far river Right and its hard to determine what the action is there.

On the First Descent of MEATBALL the water was high and rising. Water overflowed the upper flume on the Left creating a big liquid slide. Wayne Gman seal launched in just above in the chute, paddled over the upper lip of the flume's S bend. That first line was 8 feet off the river left wall.

Absent wood and meatball boulder this drop would likely be class 5.1. However it's currently rated class 6 as it is going to be infrequently run on the Left and only at favorable high flow. Blowing the line will carry typical Class 6 possibilites. If the wood and meatball blow out the rating will drop.
