World Record Waterfall Descent
I think this whole thing is a little silly, and very dangerous, but none the less, the limits were pushed a little further in Whitewater Sport for new heights in successful waterfalls run in a kayak. Tyler Bradt ran Palouse Falls in April- which was a 198 foot waterfall- but they are calling it 187. Regardless it was a breathtaking descent and I had front row seats having rappelled off the ledge to run safety and snap a few photos. Here is an article about it in the Oregonian.

It was published in the first week of May Sports Illustrated, and in the June/July issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine.
