Description

A 0.2 mile long section of III / III + leads into the lowest most drop. Can be run right or left (check for wood).

From above: "A couple hundred yards of II-III lead to the class-III entrance to the final big drop (IV+). This final drop can be run RR or RL. The RR line is very straightforward but there is a pinning rock on the right hand side in the middle of the chute. The RL line is a deceptive scout. Few have run it succesfully on the first try. "

If you do run it, hug the boulder in the center of the river around which the river splits and then once past this section either dart left to a microeddy above the final slide or head right down the slide.

A hole sometimes forms at the bottom depending on the level of the reservoir above the hydro dam 0.25 miles downstream.
