Adam Goshorn, North Fork of the Crystal, by Matt Wallace<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
After a long day on Cheesman Canyon we had collapsed into our sleeping bags at the Corral Creek Trailhead.\u00c2\u00a0 The next morning, day three of our trip, we packed our gear back into the truck and headed to our next stop a short drive away.\u00c2\u00a0 Eleven Mile Canyon of the South Platte is mostly a class III run, but just below the normal take-out is long, continuous, class V rapid.\u00c2\u00a0 After about twenty minutes of scouting and discussing lines I was feeling hesitant and Jordan was feeling fired up and ready to go.\u00c2\u00a0 He geared up and the rest of us assumed positions at different points of the rapid with ropes and cameras at the ready.\u00c2\u00a0 Jordan charged the entrance and cleared the first tier of the rapid and then a bounce sent him upside down into the next tier.\u00c2\u00a0 He rolled up only to be knocked over again and repeated the process a couple more times, but stuck it out and emerged from the bottom of the rapid upright and unhurt.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Despite the results of Jordan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s run, Matt had his own line sorted out in his head and was ready to go.\u00c2\u00a0 Again we set up with ropes and cameras and watched as Matt began his descent.\u00c2\u00a0 Entering more slowly and slightly further left, Matt proceeded to smoothly descend the entire section without a flip or mis-stroke throughout.\u00c2\u00a0 After a little more discussion, Joey and I both decided not to attempt a run.\u00c2\u00a0 We loaded the truck again, got back on the road, and drove over Independence Pass and down into the town of Aspen.\u00c2\u00a0 After a quick run of Castle Creek we met up with Anson Fogle for a late afternoon run on the Slaughterhouse section of the Roaring Fork.\u00c2\u00a0 We spent the evening of relaxing at Anson\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s house and he joined us for the next two days of exploring and filming in the upper drainage of the Crystal River.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
