Trip Report

ReporterMatt Wells

First Descent of Hole in the Wall Falls in a sit on top Torrent kayak by Ron Wells on 5.21.11. This unintentional descent was a clean run of the 15' class V slide with a perfect boof over the sieve, rail slide a log and stick the eddy before the second drop (portaged). Not recommended. DO NOT ENTER THE TUNNEL or risk commitment to this blind drop.

Check out the photos. Front half of red kayak is still in the sieve and pieces of the back half are laying to the left of the falls. We were extremely lucky to walk away from this accident with only a broken boat.
