Description: The top of this thing looks like a bigger version of Boxcar off N. Fork of the French Broad. From there the run out is what we called the Bubbling gorge of death. Then the whole necks down and goes thru a slot that it maybe as wide as a boat. We carried on the right, left looked better. Watch out for the stinging nettles on the bank. We lowered the boats down a 40 cliff using ropes and biners and such.
