We all had bad runs going through the monster hole and into the turbulence of its aftermath; where Blackadar doing it solo, ripped his glass boat up and had to repair before moving on down the river. I walked to the camp we had setup at the end of the canyon. They successfully finished the run. I then ended up paddling Rods boat to the Pacific Ocean at Dry Bay as my T-Canyon was down river somewhere with all my camping gear in it, which we did find later in perfect shape, everything still inside. Rod swam across the Alsek with aide of Ken and his kayak and walked out to the hwy via the Tatshenshini put-in. It took him 5 days through the rugged mountains of the St.Elias front range, all in his one pc. drysuit and small pack with food in May! Glad to hear your friend was OK!and you had a great adventure on a river I always dreamed about!Derek.Endresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14472492919651759082noreply@blogger.com
