Looks like we have a party on our hands! The boys are rallying, the crew is big, and show will no doubt be epic. Pit stop today at Tumwater for a few laps, then off to Chelan to fire up the warm water goods. Stoked!

The final Chelan Gorge release happened this past weekend, and it was good to see so many new faces out there on Sunday. For those that were there, we were rewarded with a first decent of Pinnacle by Rob (honey badger) McKibben. As usual he made it look easy... Now that the the final release has taken place, all info will be considered and formalized into a future release plan yet to be determined. I hope we get at least a few releases in the future, but wouldn't be suprised if only 1 release per year was afforded due to a lack of participation by our community. Thank you to everyone who came out over the past 3 years and paddled with us. This river unlike some river experiences, forces us to rethink how we set safety, and the importance of communication on the river. I came away from these trips having learned many lessons, it was a great experience, that i hope to share with others in the future.

Thanks to everybody that paddled it, and especially to those that organized it!

I was glad to get down it once, truly a memorable run!

Can't wait to see videos! Wow Rob!!!

Right on- figured it was only a matter of time before someone (like Rob) probed the Pinnacle. Heard he hardly got his head wet. Any video of that? Surely...
