   Leif, what was your ratio of hours in the beast to hours in your boat? The beast isn't the river, although it might seem like it sometimes - it's your truck. 
Ours 5:2.

   So you were in my truck for five hours this weekend, and on the river for two?  That's weird, because my truck was parked in Kirkland.  Seriously, though, we had a nice four hour drive to Squamish and back again.  Met up with D1 and a few other folks and boated all day Saturday, with a quick run on Sunday.  Partial day Sunday because Tom Bath took me up a multi-pitch on the apron, which needless to say, scared the crap out of me, bit it was fun, nonetheless.

   Sounds like both groups had a great time on the river. Right on!  It's not a competition....

   Sweet you got a nice climbing experience Leif.  I also had a scary climbing experience above Behemoth!  I can confidently say I almost swam it.

   Gordon... do you mean you almost fell in?  or was it something else...  UUC is a good run for sure, and thats a pretty intimidating horizon line at the behomoth.
