Deep water soloing on a great boulder problem at the Emeralds. Probably a V1. Great holds and fun movement with a safe and deep landing (always test the water before DWS or cliff jumping).<br> <br> For those curious on how to get to this swimming hole /problem:<br> <br> Take the trail across the road from the parking lot downstream along the river for about 1/3 mile. You will see the first swimming hole pictured above on your left. Scramble down the third class terrain to get to it. There are additional places to jump as you go down river.
