(With apologies for the graininess of the photo, due to it being a 'digital grab' from an analog video)
Shown here is the dam (on the left in the photo) and bypass pipe (from which the water torrents forth on the right in the photo) at the start of this run.
At this 'full pipe' level, the run can be a real handful.
Looking downstream from the put-in, the river starts off swiftly, taking a quick zig-zag (right, then left).
