OC2 Run on the Green Narrows

Post by avlclimber »

Will Lyons & Jason Shephard Ran the Narrows in a Probe 14 in 2007. They had a very clean line on "go left", and sensibly walked Gorilla and sunshine.
May 27, 2012 Burton Greer and I ran the whole gorge, including "the big three."

When I first saw the subject topic, I thought it was a followup on Will and his tandem partner. Wow! Congratulations Kyle! I especially like the Gorilla photo. Is there video?

Now THAT was the coolest whitewater run I've watched (aside from Nolan Whitesell running Niagara Gorge)! Even though some officianados may want a "ruling" on the Go Left run, y'all made look VERY doable upright. I'll be sure to stay tuned for more video. 8)

I wondered why y'all ran so far left at 3:30 considering you pretty much landed on the rock then I watched the kyacker run to the right side. :o

Congratulations and thanks for putting up this video, Shep.
