Iron Maiden
Report
| Account | Whitewall is the first major rapid on the Ben & Jerry's run This Gorge is located below Feather River Hospital. Vertical walled and spectacular. Lead in rapid to the crux of the gorge. This is the short walled in pool below Pre Op and above the Emergency Room If you pencil this drop at higher flows, you will understand why this is the emergency room. Last major rapid in the Hospital Gorge This is named Iron Maiden for the mining rock tumbler on the bank. Be advised that the rock at the bottom of the drop is badly undercut. |

hazards out that would not be there with normal flow 350-550. I consider optimal flows to be around
400 cfs. This is Cali not the south east.
