520    It is the Everest of rivers, a maelstrom of water and 
       rocks, gradient and flow. It is the world's last great 
       adventure prize, remote, forbidding, and hidden from 
       Western eyes. Long considered unrunnable, the Tsangpo 
       River has drawn extreme kayakers since the sport was born.
       It's killed them too. One group did it. A mammoth, old-
       school adventure team led by a young, fiery river cowboy 
       battled the white water, their Sherpa, and a Himalayan 
       winter to log the first descent of the Tsangpo. Peter 
       Heller, himself an accomplished kayaker, was along for the
       ride. In this beautifully written and exciting tale, he 
       takes us into the water and down the cataclysmic vertical 
       drops, painting a portrait of a grand adventure in a place
       that time never touched.
