Elbow Room, sieve hazard


Description: After a technical boulder garden the final crux move in Elbow Room requires that you negotiate this midstream boulder. If it's free of wood there is a decent line along the left but there is no margin for error. On the right, a good portion of the flow comes back to the left underneath the boulder in the worst sieve on the river. If you think it looks bad from above, it's even worse once you're down at river level. This drop has been run several times, but there is a significant hazard factor here. Cowlitz at 1100 cfs.
