This was Adam Goshorn's 2nd run during an evening park and huck session. It was about 30 degrees and had just stopped sleeting.

A very cold day... notice the ice on the trees. It was about 30 degrees and had just stopped sleeting.
This was Herb's first class IV and his first time paddling at temps below freezing. He aced the line with a sweet boof!

Herb Crimp hits his line on his first class IV. The Mr Clean made a fine creekboat this day.
This is the view downstream as seen from the river right bank downstream of Dismal Falls.
This is the view of the lead into the 2nd ledge from a rock outcropping up on the river right bank. Although hard to see in the photo you can see the horizon line of Second Ledge.
This picture kinda shows the trashy nature of the river right cascade.
