That is the problem when you re-report legal issues from the news. Always just the tip of the iceberg. Thanks for the information.

EPIC is not a commercial outfitter, but rather the university outdoor recreation program that ran these trips. Pretty tight outfit with good leadership for a lot of years. Quite often the commercial folks checked in with EPIC for beta on river levels, current hazards, etc. This accident was tragic. Lot's more to the story than meets the eye.
