The aftermath at Initiation. The
guilty party's eyes are blacked out to protect his
pride.

Where you don't want to be!

The guilty party and Scott recover
the boat.

Note: the bad pinning spot is not
the crack in the rocks, which some people mistakenly
identify as the pinning spot. It's in the middle right
of the river. It doesn't look nasty from upstream...but
it is. It's killed two people, and there have been many
close calls. (When I have a chance, I'll get a picture
from upstream, to clarify matters.) |

pinning spot.

Note that there's a ledge,
followed by a converging channel (arrow) with a
chock-block at the end. The boat goes over the ledge,
the bow or stern goes down, and the boat gets stuck in a
terminal ender. Nasty, eh? This is why you don't want to
surf the inviting wave ("No-No Wave") in the center of
the river. It just ain't worth it, Bunky! |
Scott leads Bob at Pillow.

Scott's in control, also at Pillow..
|
Bob's doing fine. The Room of
Doom is in the background.
|
Cliffie's set up to catch the eddy.

Sorry, Matt! The photographer
goofed.
