Low runnable, with no water flowing through the cup, and the top ledge exposed.
Medium to medium high would have water flowing through the cup but not reaching the peaks of the cup.

This is the rapid downstream of Fall
in the Wall Falls and between the
alternative put-in that is normally
portaged.
If you're not running the main falls
most folks put in above this ledge.
Use caution and make sure you have
a good strong move to the left as you
make your boof. There is a bad pin
spot below the surface and along the
wall on river right. There have been a
few close calls here.
After a couple of entry ledges the river
disappears over a set of three
horizon lines that come in quick
succession. Looking back up from
the bottom one in the set seen here
the river appears to emerge from the
tops of the trees.
After a short recovery pool the river
plunges over a fourth ledge with a
nice launch ramp for your boof over
on river left.
You have a couple slots to choose
from either around the right or left
side of the big midstream rock.
After a swift entry slide the river
plunges over a second slide and
along what can be a rather sticky
hole along river left. Make a good
strong move to sneak it on the right.
Near the end of the run the river
makes a hard turn along river left
with ledge drop.
The Green Room is a great drop near the end
of the run. Hit the sweet spot and your entire
creek boat will disappear below the surface
entering the 'Green Room' before
exploding back up a short distance
downstream.
The final big slide. Scout your
take-out eddy carefully and be sure to
set safety. At the downstream edge
of the pool below this drop the river
disappears over a set of cascades
that culminates in unrunnable
Franklin Falls.
