Top and Middle drops of Clayton Powerplant at -2'. It looks like it would clean up with more water
David Spotts runs the second major drop on the Upper Stekoa. Watch the right at the bottom here, because even at this level there is a toilet bowl with a decently high eddy fence... being caught here at high water would be ugly. Fortunately I think that at higher water it would be easier to avoid the Right Side.
The gorge is very beautiful if you can look past the poor water quality and the trash floating in the eddies. This tree is growing up in the middle of the river above the 2nd slide
David Spotts about to drop the 2nd drop of 20-20. Unfortunately, I was having camera issues and missed the money shot. At this level the 2nd drop of 20-20 went, on the River Left. Much Lower and I'd think it'd be hard not to dry out and fall off face first.
At this level, double crack has a clean line from Middle to Left of Middle off of the rock in the foreground.
At -2' the middle line opens up avoiding the 'Mean Holly Tree'
