Trip Report

Jeff contemplates the line at Red Rock.
At this level, there is a nasty recirculating eddy at the
base of the drop, but at least the undercut is covered.
This would still be a great level for the Gorge section,
but you will need to get out above Atom Bomb Falls,
which is the last (relatively easy) point of egress before
Triple Drop, which is unrunnable at this level.
This is the drop immediately upstream of Red Rock
Falls. At this level, it is less steep and feeds straight
into Red Rock with no chance to eddy out. At lower
flows, it is a pronounced boof followed by a short pool
so you can get out and scout/portage Red Rock.
This is the last drop in triple drop at a high flow. If
you're running the gorge at this level, be sure to exit
the Gorge above Atom Bomb Falls, or you will have a
very challenging portage around this terminal hole.
