Boaters put in in a forest of dead trees. A half-mile of class IV leads to class V S-turn. The drop can be scouted river-left above the right hand turn. From here the river stomps all the way to the bottom. There is a river-wide hole right before the run mellows out. Razor sharp rocks make being upside down an unpleasant experience.
