Description

Ledge drop with a few sneak lines.  Sneaks are far right or far left.  Boof on the right side of the center of the drop into a very sticky hole backed up by a large underwater boulder.  Especially sticky around 0" on the Adako bridge gauge.  If you pencil here, a beatdown may ensue (sight of a near drowning in 2006, see accident report 2006-01-07 description). If you pull, the hole will try to keep you and possibly recirculate you. There is a more forgiving slide down the left side of the center drop.
