Warning - Slot Below Thunderhole
Report
| Account | 2. “No Name” ledge between Ten Foot Falls and Boatbuster - many people have not been able to swim out of here on their own...recently one boater was rope rescued and revived using CPR. Downstream of Ten Foot Falls pool there is a boulder garden...”No Name” drop is at the end of that boulder garden..."Warning - No Name Ledge" photo was taken @ +1" on the Adako bridge gauge. Above -5” on the Adako bridge gauge you can sneak it far right...the right side of the main ledge has a very sticky hole because a large underwater rock pushes water back toward the ledge...the left side of the drop also has a sticky hole. It can also be snuck extreme left when there is enough water. 3. River left undercut immediately downstream of Thunder Hole pool – in the “hero” eddy on river left there is an undercut. Many boaters like to catch this squirrelly eddy but if you flip in there you will likely get sucked into the undercut. "Warning - Thunderhole Undercut" photo was taken @ -9” on the Adako bridge gauge. BT post from Kiley that highlights a pin spot in the drop below Thunderhole where there is a man made cement wall on river left. When running the right to left slot moves avoid hugging the left wall at the end because it gets very narrow...if you get pushed that way you can usually squeeze through by dropping your right side down and skirt drag the rock on the right |
