Description
Big rocks obstruct the middle and left at the top of this steep drop. Enter on the far right, aiming diagonally left between a big hole on the right and the turbulent recirculation from the rocks blocking the middle top. Once past the right side hole, immediately cut back right to avoid a huge ledge hole on the left. Once past this left side hole, aim either far left or far right to avoid the big hole in the bottom middle.
