Carnage at Crystal Rapid on the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon 

Definitely not a recommended line...

That line is great if you want to learn what not to do during Crystal 🤣 10/10

@@_shinaman_3972at that point i think he was saying it to hype them up bc he knew they were fucked

LMAO it would have been good if he kept pulling away from the center of the rapid 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ at the very least he should have T-upped to the wave instead of going in sideways.

right? how are you supposed to get up there and self-rescue?

yeah, sideways not recommended

As the rower with the mullet. I’ve been snakebit here by sneaking it right. Flipped 3 times. So the strategy was to use monentum and blow past it. Clearly misjudged it. But don’t forget.... we’re all between swims!

You guys went right up the middle..never a good idea on this rapid. I’ve sneaked right a few times but have run it left most often….so fat…no flips there, but yes, we are all between flips

It’s easier just to float down with the boat until they reach a calm eddy. Navigating downstream on the shoreline definitely isn’t easy or safe. As long as they have proper cold water gear on, they’re fine. What they could have is some sort of rope that allows them to pull themselves up onto the flipped raft. That way they can at least get out of the water. But they also get to stay with the boat. There are plenty of places we’re swimming to sure is the correct decision. Not here though.
