Upper Coliseum
| Description: | This is a good photo of the two drops of Upper Coliseum, taken from the eddy on river left at the base of the second drop. The hole closest to the bottom of the photo is the Particle Accelerator- big but relatively benign at low water, a boat flipping monster at higher water. On the opposite side of the small tongue behind the Particle Accelerator (and slightly upstream) sits the Cloud Chamber, a nasty recirculating pourover which is boxed in by the current going over second drop- looks like a killer to me. In the back of the picture you can see the ramp dropping down into Recyclotron, a huge, recirculating, nearly river-wide ledge hole that only gets bigger and badder as the water rises. The proper line is easy, but is very intimidating and requires some precision- stay to the left of Recyclotron, then cut to the right towards the middle of the river, riding the tongue between the Cloud Chamber and the Particle Accelerator. | |||
