Description

Look for a slide ending in a small ledge into a small eddy/pool. This signals 'The Boss'. Consists of three sections as the creek drops 40+ in the next 150 yards. First is 'Performance Evaluation', a couple boulder slot moves into a narrow slide. Second is the sharp turn onto the big slide 'Broken Paddle'. Third is the bottom ledge into a sticky hole, 'Half a Paddle'.
