Green Race Crowd 2008
Report
| Account | Jon Crain works out the monkey in the (low water) 2008 Green Race. Great picture from Ryan Bednar. It is very difficult to get a picture that shows the enormity or scale of the crowd scattered all about, but Ryan's is perhaps the best I've seen. Difficult to see in this photo, but it is possible to make out the beginnings of some real trouble for one of the spectators -- a man falling in at the top of Nies' Pieces, his faded blue jeans still dry. He got worked over pretty good in the holes there before being pulled out, in decent shape except for being a bit hypothermic. Adam Herzog, who was on the scene at the time and assisted in the man's rescue, then wrote a cautionary article in the Jan/Feb 2009 AW Journal about the danger to spectators at the Green Race. You can find the article on page 52 of that issue. Here is another photo of the crowd, from 2006. |
