Description

Immediately below Wanda's is a maze of rocks named Z Turn or Devil's Elbow. The most common line is to go from center to left and maybe into an obvious eddy behind a boulder on the bank. From there you must get back to the right. Skirting the right side of the small hole below that first eddy with a little right angle will do the trick.
