I promise I'll buy one of those shirts too.
 
We need more shirts for me to wear.

I uploaded a couple of pictures from Saturday on the Sky.
 
Still getting the hang of the camera; I'll get more next time.

Glad to head I'm not alone. Not that I didn't know so already.

I think we should have a Boulder Drop Swim Team shirt too. You don't get one until you swim it. Obviously.

I think I'm scared of it now though. Don't really want to run it tomorrow... But I'm thinking that running or swimming it is better than the portage... It's too hot for walking along the highway.

You should give it another go, otherwise you'll have that unfinished business to deal with. Give it a look, separate the moves and you should be fine.

How is Ned's at this level? The ferry for Airplane is what kills me.

Neds is tougher than Airplane because you need a boof stroke. Well, you don't "need" it but it certainly helps. You should be pretty comfortable on airplane before moving up to Neds imho.

I swam it... How bad can it be in a boat? ;-) How much of a hole is at the bottom?

Not too much of a hole but you can get worked a little. Plus it starts getting shallower with lower levels so you have ankle-hurting potential if you don't boof it. Up to you though.

We'll see. I might bring the Punk Rocker, for support.

David, can you make it out and paddle with us?

Ahh, good old vertical dirt. You know, we haven't had a good debacle in a while. Guess it's time for me to start breaking out the creeker again.
