Description

At moderate flows enter from the center of the river, as things get higher there is a sneak entrance slot on river left. After that go around the holes on the left. The bottom hole likes to play with decked boats in the 1.2 to 1.9 range. After that try not to get plastered on the river left wall. Get swimmers to shore quickly due to Crack being just downstream. Set up safety ideally on river right if you are worried about a potential swim.

Strangly enough, Corkscrew gets a little easier as it gets higher. Its most ornry about 1.7.
