Description

The creek drops into a constricted mess of hydraulics. It is amazing the variety of carnage that can happen here. Concentrate on a clean line in the entrance to avoid the big hole at the bottom. There is a large, slightly undercut rock 50' downstream from the big hole, remember to swim right.
