GoFundMe site to help with Charlie's cancer journey:  Fundraiser by Charles Munsey : Help Charlie Munsey Fight Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer

In the early 90's Charlie Munsey and his friend Conrad Fourney just drove to the Stikine and put on, becoming the 4th descent and signing their names on the chalkboard at Site Zed.  Those names looked out of place next to the legends of Lesser, Ammons, Holbeck, Wasson, etc.  It would'nt look out of place long as Charlie would go around the world pioneering hard, remote whitewater and capturing it all on his camera.  No other photographer of the era captured expedition kayaking to the extent Charlie did.  Truly inspiring an era of kayakers to push the bounds of exploration.  This culminated with being central to the planning and execution of the first descent of the Tsangpo River in Tibet.  A trip which Charlie was the photographer for. He was also a photographer for many iconic pictures of new generations on PNW waterfalls. Charlie has also been a National Geographic Explorer and book author.
