Hole Brothers is getting less retentive, but still playful. The True Path at Knife's Edge is getting tighter as the water rises. |
2500 -6000 cfs |
a bit pushy runnable-high runnable |

The True Path keeps getting tighter and tighter as the water rises above 2500; at the higher end, most boaters will sneak Knife's Edge. |
6000 -10000 cfs |
barely High-extremely High |

People will boat the Black at this level, but it's "Too High" for mere mortals who don't know the river very well. |
