Description

This is a very dangerous spot on the river, you can eddy out on river right above the drop and set safety at river level. There is a sticky hole backed up against the river right wall that causes a lot of swims and protacted thrashings. Additionally there is a dangerous pin spot in the center of the drop that has caused at least one close call. The drop varies significantly based on water level and when in doubt, it is worth scouting.
