Brandenburger- The Kaiserklamm

The past weekend I finally got the chance to check out the Kaiserklamm on Brandenburger in Austria as well as every other section on that river. It turned out to be one of the best days of the years and some of my best paddling. I felt super good even though this river happens to be my first class V river so that felt awesome and with only one roll I can't complain! I got one picture from someone in the group that was on the walkway along the side of the canyon but unfortunetly no gopro because I had just sold it so I could buy the newest one. Oh well. Here is the picture as well as someone elses gopro! I'm almost not even visible in the furthest upper right corner. Enjoy,

Quick Stateside Trip

It looks like I will be headed stateside for a quick two week trip due to a hiring process that is beyond me but it will be fun to catch up with relatives and friends, introduce myself to possible employers for spring, and last but not least....get a little boating in. I have alveady lined up a few things that I need to get done pertaining to the job back here in GAP but beyond I have a wide open schedule. I have been trying to sell my old kayak to compensate for the flight and a few purchases so hopefully that happens because it will make life a little easier. I have already lined up a boat and paddle for me to use for one or two days so that could be fun to get out on the Skykomish and Snowqualmie with some local boaters to check it out!
On Wednesday I went out kayaking on the Loisach only to rip out my neck gasket so promptly sent in my dry top to Kayak Acedademy in Seattle and they are going to do the repair as I'm packing bags and getting stuff finished up over here. Hopefully when I arrive it is all finished up and ready to hit the water!!
