i'd have to say your wrong about this. notice a scene in the movie when the hiking trail is right near the river but carved into the gorge wall, the light colored rock 20' above the paddler is the high water mark. a very conservative estimate of the river volume @ that level would be 400,000cfs. that is an INSANE amount of water! yes the rocks are covered by 20' of water, but that means the hydrolics will pull you 20' deep, and eddys at that level would be non-existent. throw in the awesome gradient of the tsangpo and it would be the autobahn of rivers along w/ the everest of them.
jen, actually the water can take you down stream, and does quite frequently! as for the rest of your post all i can really say is...
