Description

A short distance below the power lines the river drops over another series of ledges then finally runs out into a violent slide. The best approach is to run directly below a midstream boulder at the top of the first ledge then ride out the rest of the drop trying to stay upright in the violent chute between two parallel ledges on either side of the river.
