Dave, Adrian, Joe, and I had a killer trip down the Carbon last friday. here is some video of the run, all except the last rapid or two. definitely some carnage in there....everyone had a great time though. what an amazing place.

I need to get a fullface before I get my nose choped off !  But thankfully no bootybeer was required. Never get tired of  the "Carbon rap" !      

Nice work Matt. Bummed I missed the trip.

For sure!!! Brings back fond memories ... looks like you have a chilly day for that one.

Depends on whether or not Alonzo is waiting for you at the bottom. I'd say 30 minutes (at least) to hike and rapel in. Hour and a half on the water, and if there's no Alonzo, an hour hike out (probably longer). That dude is one of the coolest non-boaters I've ever met.

Actually we owe a booty beer for the Deer that swam through a boogy section. I don't think we can really hold her accountable for that one.

Awesome video! Runs like that make me feel blessed and excited to be a kayaker, and motivate me to become a better boater-- I want to run it someday and experience for myself. But more importantly, without videos, I'd never get to see these runs so thanks for sharing it!! Very inspirational

Hey Dave, there weren't any alligators in there, just rocks... *HAHA*
