Description

A short sequence of 3-5' ledges and slots. They're not that hard, but if you lose control or get disoriented things can go downhill in a hurry. The center- right channel is the traditional double boof line and should be finished by landing right into the swirly pool above the Fingers. The right-most option is called the Angel Slot and is more difficult and committing. To the left, where you DON'T want to go, next to Charlie's Hole (MD side) is an inviting channel called Hollywood Boulevard that funnels toward Twist n' Shout, and the deadly Subway - this should not be run.
