The undercut, Leap of Faith (DR)

Report

Account At lower water the only route is a slot on the left. It's a two foot drop onto a slide of about six feet. It's fun to catch the eddy behind the ledge. This is a fun 6' drop. The rock in the right side of the picture is undercut. No swimming allowed (and no, Jerry did not swim... here). Immediately below this drop is a fun (scary) class V waterfall. Make sure to catch the micro eddy under the tree on river left. This is a long boulder garden rapid with a fun slide at the end. It's a great way to start the run. At higher water (4.5') you can boof the dry part of the ledge behind Sunshine on the left. It's more technical at the lower levels, but boofing the middle of the ledge and landing on the slide provides a cheap thrill. This is the undercut boulder at the bottom left of the 6' drop. Of course, most of the water pours under it.
