Description
The line is far river right, a short boof onto a ledge, before eventually dropping off the ledge 20-30 yards downstream.
The picture is the Hero Line through Elephant Head Rapid and that line is the toughest challenge on the run.
Note: as of June, 2010, the Hero Line is even tougher, and paddlers are warned away from it.
