video of "El Horendo" on Russell Fork Gorge

Let us know how it went! Swim confessions and carnage reports are welcome, but it's not fair to tell on your buddies!

I saw some nice braces. Is the left to right line the hero line? The left to left looked like a sneak.

I don't believe El Horrendo to have a sneak. Pour-over(s) on lower left me thinks.

Nice video!

There is an easier line on the left, at least at release levels. It's a slide with three(?) drop offs(broken off pieces of the main ledge) on the way down.

Once I accidentally let myself slide backwards out of the top left eddy. Went right down the slide. Looked like I meant to do it! LOL
