Description

This short sliding flume drop would be easy fun to run if it were 'clean'. Unfortunately, huge timbers with huge spikes line the drop, and large rocks and another timber lay wait in the pool at the base. While I will concede that at some high flow it is possible (likely) that these hazards may be adequately covered to make a run possible, it is certainly NOT something I would encourage anyone to take lightly. If you have not seen this in person at a decent handful of flows, if you do not know how far underwater the spikes and the timbers may be, you really should not consider running this drop.
