Over 50 women met to paddle the Upper Green, and 24 continued down the Class V Green Narrows section. A raffle was held, in which over $650 was raised for the Shannon Christy Fund, a fund dedicated to getting more women into paddlesports. It was an amazing day, well captured by this video from Gareth Tate, Robby Hogg, and Daniel Brassuell. Enjoy!
This remote, committing river features Class V and VI rapids and inescapable slot canyons and gorges. Here is the first part of this amazing journey Leg Two, Ep. 11 from Wizard's Eye on Vimeo .

This year over 160 competitors battled snow, freezing temperatures, and a monkey in the quest for the glass. Congratulations to champions Isaac Levinson and Adriene Levknecht. Notable Dagger finishes were Andrew Holcombe taking fifth, Chris Gragtmans taking ninth only three months out of shoulder surgery, and Dagger's quality control manager Wade Harrison finishing tenth! Way to go!
