Drop above Nemesis

Report

Account This is the last drop above Dry Falls on the Upper Cullasaja. I don't think it is runnable at this level maybe at 4 ft? There is a sort of flume that cuts across the drop starting in the center and working back to river right. Looks pretty sik though, bad exit point. Notice the quality of the water from the Highlands Sewage Treatment Plant from the foam piles below the drop. This is the big roadside drop on the Upper Cullasaja. To get to it drive about 2 miles past T-Bone and when the road getts really close to the river there is a guard rail and if you look out the passenger side window you'll see it lurking below. Park about 1/4 mile past on the right side of the road. Be sure to scout before you put on, cause once you run the lead in drop, there's no getting out. The gorge walls are very steep and very slick. Better be good in your creeker for this one!! Hang on your getting close to the end! ahhh you mad it hopefully, now you got a few hundred yards to get your ducks back in a row before Bricklayer Falls and then if your still in one piece, Cosmic Crunch.-----scouting advised Get ready for the ride.....
