    Wapwallopen Creek is by far one of the steepest sections I've run. There are 4 drops/slides in rapid succession, then a mile of flatwater. After that mile is Pennsylvania's most stout drop: Powder Hole. I decided against it lol

      @@jamesmalek Goliath on hornbecks creek probably is(it’s currently full of wood tho). Hickstone falls probably is. This shit probably is: ua-cam.com/video/te90Odc-vl0/v-deo.htmlsi=Fkbajk8HO4efYgkC . There’s also some unrun shit that probably goes like bush kill falls that’s definitely stouter

      I could understand Goliath being up there, I’ve never seen it in person but i know it has a decently higher success rate than powder. It’s also not a cool drop, like sure it’s huge but it’s just a shitty drop, whereas powder is awesome looking. When I think stout, I consider it’s just general coolness as well as it’s size. hinkston falls is taller but I’d say it’s easier honestly, I would rather do hinkston then powder anyday. If the top of dingmans or bushkill are ever run, I would put those higher than powder for sure, but they’ve never been proven runnable which is the issue. Maybe someday…

    Not nearly enough water.

      I would say this is the perfect amount of water for this creek
