This pull off yields a short 50 foot descent to the river. Start just upstream of the truck in this picture for a rough trail down to the river.
Start right here to avoid the undercut on river left, but plane over the flow driving to the left to avoid the meat of the hole at center and right. Good fun and a good place to swim.
There are two lines here. The far right yields a 17 foot boof that can be tricky. The easier line is on the left down the far side, running a chunky double ledge. Go fast, clear the first one and be ready for a big landing.
This is by far the big one on the run. Scout and portage on the right. Run down the middle fast and with a big boof off the 15 footer, and upon landing drive hard right away from the nastiness on the left. There is also some nastiness on the right next to the big drop, but a big boof should clear it.
We are standing next to the middle big drop here.
Down the middle looks pretty brainless and if it wasn't for the sketchy seal launch in from river right this would be more popular.
