Freewheel through 'the Notch'

The rocks that make up the Flake and MD side carry up get extremely hot. Even when the day time high is bearable being out on the rocks here adds a whole new element keeping in mind that the water temperatures can reach 90 degrees. When going out there bring water and be very wary of the dangers of overheating and it's ability to affect your performance.

The slot at the bottom of the photo is the entrance to Pencil Sharpener. To the left of the huge midstream boulder is Z-Turn, and to the right is Charlie's Hole. Horseshoe can be seen in the distance.
