\nA tough boof on the Ri\u00c3\u00b1inahue.<\/p>\n

Still down here in Chile making the most of low water. A group of us headed south from Pucon en route to the Futaleufu\u00c2\u00a0to hang out and kayak for\u00c2\u00a0the remainder of our stay here in Chile. On the way we\u00c2\u00a0ran the Salto del Nilahue and got a possible 1st descent\u00c2\u00a0of 2 drops on the\u00c2\u00a0Ri\u00c3\u00b1inahue near by.\"max<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Max Blackburn on the Salto del Nilahue.

\u00c2\u00a0\"jared-thumbs-up.png\"<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0Still scared at the bottom of the last drop on the Ri\u00c3\u00b1inahue…
\nThis run usually has too much water in it, and it was definitely on the high side of good the day Evan and I decided to run it. We checked it a few weeks before and it was definitely a no go. This past time I estimated the flow about a 1\/3 less water, but the upper drops were still a bit sketchy. Big holes, big caves but the last drop is sweet! Evan and I decided to call the last one Alerdio because of its mini resemblence to the Alerces drop in Argentina mixed with the Salto de Indio on the Gol Gol in Chile, down the left and plug deep. We think the two drops we ran\u00c2\u00a0are first descents. correct me if anyone knows otherwise. The Ri\u00c3\u00b1inahue gorge is a really cool, really scarey gorge, but with nice rewards.<\/p>\n

In other news: Recently, I had\u00c2\u00a0an unfortunate event happen to me durring my stay in\u00c2\u00a0Pucon. Someone broke into our truck and stole my computer and all of our video footage from the past 3 months in South\u00c2\u00a0America. Luckily, I still have\u00c2\u00a0a little bit of lower quality footage saved on a hard-drive, but a lot of pictures and\u00c2\u00a0most of the high quality video footage was taken. Needless to say we are all\u00c2\u00a0pretty bummed out.\u00c2\u00a0In the\u00c2\u00a0end, we will always have instilled in our minds the memories of this trip as being one of\u00c2\u00a0our bests,\u00c2\u00a0and will just have to come do it all over again to get full documentation. I made a couple\u00c2\u00a0videos on youtube with a lot of the footage that was stolen, if you havent seen it already check it out at \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9QYNr-H0KbE<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and\u00c2\u00a0the other\u00c2\u00a0one \u00c2\u00a0http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9hvKN2ff0EQ&feature=related<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
