The Last River

The Last River

By Todd Balf

2001

This book concerns one of the early attempts at paddling the Tsangpo gorge of the Brahmaputra river - which will likely never be done completely.

Sadly a paddler died, Seattle native Doug Gordon, a classmate of Bill Gates at the Lakeside School. I didn't know Gordon, but it's a safe assumption we were at some event or another.

It's a great companion read to the more spiritually focused 'Heart of the World'. Ian Baker, the author of this piece was in the area at about the same time.
