🗺️🧭A week of scouting, waiting, and debating water levels… and finally, the river gave them a green light! 🚦🔥
👦🏽 and his crew knew every inch of the canyon on Enguri in Georgia—where to eddy out, where portaging was inevitable. Eda says “nothing truly prepared us for what lay ahead. With every bend, the canyon grew narrower, deeper. We scrambled over loose scree, ducked under massive fallen trees, and constantly stopped just in time before hitting the next unpassable obstacle.”💀
“Then came the biggest challenge—an enormous log jam blocking the entire river. Mike scouted ahead. We expected a portage, but instead… ‘Left center!’ 💡 And just like that, a tunnel appeared, as if it had been waiting for us. No ropes, no tree climbing—just a clean line through and a moment we’ll never forget.”
“The second section? Colder, faster, more intense. But the real highlight? The beauty. Sunlight slipping behind the cliffs, waterfalls turning gold, the river charging ahead—and us, right there in the middle of it all. This is why we kayak. “🌊✨
