Okay, before you watch this let me give you some background. When hiking the Narrows, there was not that much water. We only had to carry our packs over our heads one time. After we got through, we thought we should have had a photo op to memorialize the toughness. Yes, it’s true. You caught me. I’m a big faker.

Also, while recreating the scene, I sank down in the sand. What you don’t see in the video is me not being able to get up. I had fallen to my knees and am trying to lift a thirty pound pack straight above my head.
