What a fine rapid. And with enough scare to keep you honest.

In my first year, I was holding rope on rio LEFT to the opposite of Hydro, and Robert Harrison, photon emeritus, ambles up to chat. He noticed that I was gripped tighter than a bulldog's sphincter, and to pass around some sage advice said sometime to the affect of, "you know, it's all about being safe and having a good time. All the rest is just details." Yep Robert, I see that now. Thanks for the insight.
