Any time that i paddle up to the falls, i get a little excited. This time, it was a few more feet higher then when we normally run the lines. The high water brought in a slide to the left of Pummel. It was about a five foot drop to a big slide into a right turn. The eddy to scout the line was right between the slide and a very high water Pummel which looked like it could swallow the white house. Eric Orenstein ran the slide and hit the wall that was directly in front of the first drop.
He didnt make the right turn and had a pretty hard hit. Then i ran it and made sure to keep a hard right angle to avoid doing the same. Then we bunched up real tight and went for a ride through horseshoe. We came, We conquered, We shredded the gnar.
