Description

The river drops suddenly after a nice series of play holes just above. The best route is to eddy out on river right just above a big hole. Peel out from the eddy, cross the channel and thread your way down along the right between the holes. At higher levels (6.5+) the holes become huge and a channel straight down the left edge opens up.
