Description
River-wide ledge in the one spot that you feel like the river "narrows". Immediately after the previous rapid. Drop consists of a river wide ledge (visible in pic) with a sluice/slot on river right up against the wall. Preferred line is off the middle with a boof straight down, though many paddlers get up against the wall. Wear your elbow pads if you're doing that right line; it tends to choke down a bit and bang right elbows if you don't bring them in close. Drop doesn't develop a hole at high-water. Nice recovery pool at bottom with big eddy on right.
