2. Big Hungry Creek to Fishtop Access(Green Narrows)
<br>Nice Picture from the 2006 Green Race. Cooper runs the "Flying Squirrel" double-boof <br>line on the far river left side of Pencil Sharpener. Photographer unknown.<br><br> Notice the swimmer just out of frame being rescued -- <i>in the nick of time</i> -- directly above The Notch. <br>Some of that rescue action is viewable late in this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR0pgjlDEyk&feature=related">Green Race Movie Trailer</a>.<br><br> Not to belabor a common point, but it pays to have your throw rope ready if you're "out and about". <br>Somebody did for this guy, and he saved that swimmer's ass. Unquestionably, without a person with a <br>rope right there and ready to use it, the swimmer would have gone through The Notch and over Gorilla. <br>No two ways about it.<br><br> In 2011, two or three ropes were tossed to a guy in a similar predicament but further downstream towards <br>the inevitable. Too late, and he swam the Monkey, no doubt thinking at the time that his situation was becoming <br>highly suboptimal. Things worked out ok I'm assuming as I heard no reports to the contrary. <br><br>
