J,

Did you run all of the back-channels, or did you bottle Widow-Maker too? :-p The only back-channel we ran was Bladerunner which we did twice. We looked at running Brick-yard but in the end decided that as none of us had done it before and weren't certain of the line (plus I had just spend a while trying to escape a rather sticky hole at the bottom of Bladerunner) we would look at it another day. The days went by too quickly and another opportunity did not present itself.

I did brickyard, nice centre left followed by a left of centre left, followed by a hard left. all good, escape hatch was all going well untill a got eaten by a hole on the ferry across the top of widow maker and almost went down it.

didnt do hypoxia or widowmaker. neather have been done for a couple of months as far as I know cos the levels have dropped the holes are stickier than usual.

didnt have time to look at dutcman either but was in a pretty bad place mentally while I was out there after that beating in itunda so was paddling like shit and I also had a deck that would sometimes pop which didnt fill me with confidence either. proof about what they say about 90% of kayaking is in the head.
