Description

This is a good one to scout from the left if you're unfamiliar with the run. At medium and higher flows there's a stout hole at the bottom, backed up by a rock that aids recirculation. The line is on the right, following a fold of water that leads you to a ramp or flake at a break in the hole. At low flows the ramp is bumpy and the hole isn't as big.
