I had a great time on the Cheat on Saturday - congrats to all who joined the (long long) day, who warmed up with the Hokie Pokie (thanks to Fern for leading!) and everyone that joined Dave R and I for the too-cool-for-school group. Great day!
-- On Sunday I did at attainment on the Po at 4.9 and am excited to report that I attained the entire river up to O-deck, including attaining Back Channel rapid in the main line!!! I was in the Topo Duo with Milan, which explains this miraculous accomplishment. Here is how it went:
Jen (facing upstream looking at a humongous back channel rapid): "Hey, Milan, what is your plan here?"
Milan: "If you don't like it, you don't have to do it."
Jen: (silence)
Milan: "Okay, lets paddle hard, put the bow (with jen in it) into the pour-over, then lean left and "attain" up that 4 ft wall of water, hit that wave, and use it to surf over to the (too tiny to actually see) eddy just above the hole (river right, attainer's left). If we miss, we will flush backwards into the hole. Ready?"
Jen: (silence)
Result - We made it..... on the fourth try, after flushing backwards into the rocky hole three times. But, we eventually successfully attained the main line in Back Channel Rapid!! And, then we continued attaining all the way up to O-deck. Because some of you are wondering, the answer is "No", we did not attain GF.
Is this something that Cheat Elite does? I didn't even know that this attain was possible.
