Over the past year, First Ascent has earned itself a great reputation for outstanding gear both designed and used by mountain guides. But the company is outfitting adventurers of all types, including kayakers Jesse Coombs, Darin McQuoid and Ben Stookesberry who have been making first descents on rivers around the world.
Their paddling adventures have been captured in a new film entitled Hotel Charlie No. 5, which you can take a sneak peek at below. Looks great!
