The Last River: The Tragic Race for Shangri-la is a breathtaking account of the ill-fated October 1998 expedition of an American whitewater kayaking team who traveled deep into the Tsangpo Gorge in Tibet to run the Yarlung Tsangpo, known in paddling circles as the "Everest of rivers." For Wick Walker and Tom McEwan, extreme whitewater pioneers, best friends, and trip leaders, the Tsangpo adventure was the culmination of a twenty-five-year quest for glory. Yet the team's magnificent dreams crumbled when their ace paddler was swept over a thunderous eight-foot waterfall, never to be seen again.

Cool Story, but it's the Abridged Version.
Revisado: 12-20-22
I started this with a physical book and found the story a little slow in the first half - so I thought I'd give the Audiobook a try and hammer it out on a long drive.
The story was fun, but as I referred back to the source material I noticed some stuff was missing. Turns out: Audible fails to mention the audiobook is the abridged version.
I guess it was cheaper to produce? Anyway, that was a dissapointment. There are some great scenes omitted from this version, including moments of reflection at a Tibetan monetary after the death of a friend, and a touching Eulogy.
If you can't bring yourself to read the book, this version is fun. But it's definitely not the whole book, so take it with a grain of salt.
