First D - Monkman Creek, Tumbler Ridge – British Columbia
Rush, Patrick, Brooks and Tyler were joined by Nelson BC hucker Mikkel St. Jean. With boats loaded for 3 days away the boys headed deep into Grizzly country in Tumbler Ridge Provincial Park (which had just reopened after having been closed due to 3 Grizzlies that had been “causing a lot of grief”). From the photos and info we had the 20km hike in would lead us to 10 good to go trail-side drops in the 30-80 footer range… Unfortunately most of the drops turned out to be not so trail-side and not so good to go (rocks in landing, bad lips – some would be better with more water) The group still managed to get on a few great drops and some fun rapids on the paddle out.
British Columbia
Rush, Charlie, and Patrick arrived ready to huck. Record snowpack in BC meant rivers were pumping. We got on some goods right off the bat with local Mikkel St. Jean bringing us to the ~60 foot sutherland falls at juicy flow and some other gems between revelstoke and neilson. on our way back to the coast we stopped in kamloops and, unfortunately, had our car broken into and had all the footy/photos stolen along with expensive camera gear, passports and all kinds of other stuff thats a pain to replace. We regrouped at skook with Ian Garcia, Tyler Bradt and the BC kids, and then headed out to find more drops... BC has the goods, enjoy the shots from after the theft.
