Description

The difficulty here is severely dependent on water level. In the picture, it's hard to tell, but there are actually 2 distinguished drops here. Check out the low-water picture in the photo/video library to get the idea. 2 lines here--low water, start R, sliding down the first drop with L angle, slamdance with the rock face into a side surf, and jet through a little ramping slot into the landing pool. At higher water (a little lower than this photo), stay away from the R-side rock face, straight on L of center and punch the hole at the bottom. It has been said that debris as large as refrigerators have taken up residence in this hole at the bottom during floods. Scout even if you have just run the top falls...things float in randomly. Take note that there is a tree-infested island directly downstream that is in the center of the flow at higher water.
