1. Center, top drop of Double Drop - water slides into an undercut which actually sieves out due to sitting cocked funny on a slab rock.

2. River right side of the pool between Double Drop and Washing Machine.

3. The recently learned of top left of the Kreckles.

4. Bottom right of the Kreckles - water sieves out a crack in the bottom right side of a really boily/swirley room with an eddy harsh fence blocking exit.

5. Bottom left wall of Ass Kicker - 3/4 of the way down

6. The obvious one that everyone knows about in river center about 1/3 of the way through the Canyon - always has wood jammed in it....

7, 8, & 9. The far river right of #6. The river drops into a box canyon and filters out through sieves on the right, left and underneath.

10. Right above the big river right eddy 1/3 of the way through the rapid above O&W (the longest rapid on the run). Water filters through a slot too small for a boat and into the eddy.

11. Far river left at the very top of O&W.

Crazy how many sieves there are on this class III-IV run. And this post doesnt even touch on the undercuts......
