Everybody Got Their Lines?
Tom Long and Mariman Falls. We're running this falls! NOT!
Tom's looking at Mariman Falls on the Upper Trancura, above Last Laugh, both of which we did not run.
We DID run Devil's Throat and Salto Feo (well most of us). Had some carnage, some missed rolls. The previous week workouts are a big build-up to this run, as is the scout on the way in. Pretty intimidating. Though the Long Palace-Guard is always there, so you really don't have to swim (in theory.) Here are some pix from our trip, plus some glamour shots that pal Hugh Keegan took. Though ummm, his Devil's Throat shot misses the ledge thingey on the bottom and a dessert "hole-let" below it. None of it at the water levels we ran it would keep you..too long. And his beauty shot of Salto Feo shows the ever-looming Vulcan Villaricca, always steaming away in the background.
Yesterday we ran the incredibly beautiful San Pedro. Starts in a gorgeous lake, - photo doesn't do it justice.
Playboat class today in little boats if you wanted it. Morning session was at the ledge at Pescadore and the afternoon was at the bottom of Schoolhouse on the Liucura.
Some YouTubes are
