I've always dissmissed those who sung the praises of Thunderhead Prong as it is not very steep, has no big drops, and I assumed it was a junky at the Tremont section below it. I was wrong. It isn't steep nor does it have big drops, but it has exceptionaly esthetic lines for a creek of its size and gradient. The lines have no f-you rocks in them and the rocks are placed where you have perfect s-turn chicanes. The only problem is that it is short and it drops you out onto the Tremont section. Tremont isn't bad at higher water, but even at medium levels it has a lot of annoying f-you rocks in too many of the lines.
