Keith Beck adjusts his line on the second drop of Vortex Rapid on a lower water run (about 650 cfs) of the Forks of the Kern. Here's a shot of Winston Offil doing the same ledge at about 1500 cfs.

Keith had just carefully scouted and precisely run a difficult line to the right of the "normal" route down the ramp. A couple of boaters scraped down the ramp, and Preston Holmes had a great line and run on the main Vortex chute.
