Trip Report

The center line at Climax should not be run at less than 800 cfs. This channel passes over a table rock---too little water and you go under, end of story. At 800+, this line is, in my opinion, easier than the Box. Simply start right, angle left 45 degrees, hit the diagonal wave head-on, go over the rock. Turn right to punch the second hole, behind the table rock.
