Here is another characteristic class V- drop (SF BOLT), the line we took reminiscent of "BOLT ROUTE" on the Cataracts of the Kern, involving a sliding falls. I ran it first and ended up landing between these two rocks just downstream of the main drop. The river left channel (with most of the water) was avoided due to the hole, and more importantly, because it flushed you directly into tree strainers.
