How to run Lower Cliffside

The river makes a left band at the entrance. Stick to the left and follow the left wall. At high water, there are very large holes here which requires more or less the same line of regular flows, by staying towards the left. If you are camping at Tumble during high flows, which is immediately downstream of this on river right, then this will be a difficult camp to catch.
