This ledge collects your toll to enter Second Canyon. A large hole guards most of the right side of the river, but a tongue on the left offers the path of least resistance. A bad run here sets you up poorly for The Nozzle, which is immediately downstream. At low water you can eddy out the left between Pearly Gates and The Nozzle, but at medium flows and above this eddy is a mess of boils and whirlpools. This is no place for a swim at those levels.
