Trip Report
| Reporter | Bob Vernon |
Wanted to comment from the perspective of someone who was on the first descent (I
think?) in either 1986 or 87. Saw that the big falls near the end was called Compression
Falls - we named that Whammer Falls after Brian Wham who was first off that drop on
that trip. At the bottom his helmet was blown off and floated up first prompting Dale Adams to comment something like 'it tore his f-ing head off'. I think Dale was 2nd off
the drop.
We had a large group that day and had a great trip ! I will never forget it ! Bob Vernon
