This is a video taken by Drone of Baker's Box on the Upper Animas. This is why it is a mandatory portage. One time we had a customer who repelled into the box to retrieve his kayak. It had a log stuffed into the cockpit. He had to cut it out with a bow saw, and then climb back out with his boat. Not being a Climber, I have difficulty imagining how he did this, but we did fix his Kayak.

Rivers and Oceans had this on their web site. A flip and long swim left of the rock garden in Crystal Rapid. NOTE: There are 2 things that can go wrong in a right run through crystal. What happened here is that he did not have an early enough start or enough momentum to the right. At the top the person with the camera is telling him to row harder at the top. That may have saved him. but entering at the very top of the lateral waves with all the momentum you can muster going right is my best course of action. The trick is not to bounce off of any rocks on the right. Try to miss them. because if you do, you may just bounce right back into those lateral waves that will take you right into the hole. I flipped there once at about that same water level. because I hit a half submerged rock on the right and lost all my momentum. https://youtu.be/DscJXW5zCvs Opinions supplied by Jack Kloepfer.

I do not know who Mountain time zone is, but they have a very cool flip sequence of one of our big cats, El Tigre, in Crystal in the Grand Canyon. I have shared this before, but it has always been a crowd pleaser. https://www.facebook.com/reel/696856533829997

PADDLES UP: At JPW, we live vicariously through our customers. This film is a ton of fun for me to watch. We built 2 racing rafts for the Animas Amazons, and these women were a ton of fun to work with on this project. Yes this is a resurrection of an old video. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I do.

"Paddle's Up" is a documentary about the Animas Amazon's, the all female raft racing team from Durango, CO. Big thanks to Jack's Plastic Welding. Filmed by S...
