Description

Tibbets Falls is a complex sequence of ledges. At good flows, there will be a wealth of nasty pourovers and holes to avoid (or try to 'punch'). Very few 'clean' lines ('sneaks') will exist. We strongly recommend scouting this (roughly) quarter-mile stretch before putting on, to have a real good concept of what it will take to run (and whether you are really up for it).
