Scott Feindel actually got the first descent on that, but it was one of
the most committing big drops I've ever run. The waterfall pours
from a canyon, but was obstructed at the bottom by a log. That
raised the risk because if you missed your line, you could get sucked
under it. If anything went wrong, we were days away from rescue.
After I scouted the waterfall, set up safety precautions, and made the
decision to run it, instinct took over. I cleared my mind, snapped my
skirt over the rim of my kayak, then paddled over the lip and watched
the pool race toward me. Midway down, I dropped my paddle—if I
hadn't, the force of the impact at the bottom would have snapped it
—and plunged into the water. When I surfaced, I could feel my heart
pounding in my head. I have goose bumps just thinking about it.
It's such a great drop.
