I feel the words building inside me, I can't stop them, or tell you why I say them. These words come to me in a whisper. I say them as prayer, as regret, as praise: Riesenstein ... Riesenstein … Riesenstein. Riesenstein.
Riesenstein ...
Riesenstein ...
Riesenstein ...
Riesenstein.

Started out pretty strong and fast. But it's beginning to get to me. When does it end? What do You got in mind for me? What do I do now? Right! All right. On my knees, asking.

Interesting TR! A rugged area of the cascades. I was even able to identify some of the route, having camped just below your so called 'Big Rock Pass' myself once. Thanks for posting.
At least one other person has shot the Napeequa since Chris Korbulic did it. He lives right here in Wenatchee. My son-in-law helped him carry the kayak up Little Giant Pass. I know him from meeting on local trails over the years. I even saw him at a social event not long ago. That subject didn't come up, but at least I know he made it back alive.

I never learned to paddle. Can't even eskimo roll. Can at least pretend to ski a little bit though. That's a neat story / opportunity.
My Dad used to paddle whitewater slalom kayaks in southern CA in the 70s. In the late 80s / early 90s World Cup White Water Slalom racers would come to race in the midwest. South Bend IN and Wausau WI. Kathy Hearn? and Jon Lugbill? were competitive Americans but the field was dominated by Europeans. I never understood why the best in the world flew across the ocean, to backwater USA for 2 legs of their World Cup series? But it was rad to watch them navigate down these contrived man-made ditches in front of a small crowd of disinterested locals.
Twitch 2000 is good collection of WA river porn. There's kayaking too. @ 12:00 they run Dingford Creek. Lots of Skykomish near Deception Falls Park, Middle Fork Snoqualmie, Entiat... Trying to map these runs on my WA Gazetteer atlas, before I had a car or an internet connection, are some of my first back country experiences.
