Beatdown of the Century by Jacob Zivony

I was expecting a lot to happen when I came to keeners but one thing that wasn’t in the cards for me was a beatdown so bad that the beat downee was under water for more then 25 seconds. When we first set up to run iron ring I was expecting maybe a swim but what I wasn’t expecting was someone to go in the curtain of green water and get plunged 50 feet deep below the turbulent whirlpools and touch the bottom. When Callan first did her run I was super hyped at first because she was getting beatdown in the more traditional sense and she was fighting it, which was sick. When the room of doom decided to push her in to the curtain things took a very different turn. I was setting safety and I had my rope but she wasn’t looking so I didn’t throw it. Little did I know neither of us were gonna see each other for a while 25 seconds while she was under the water getting sucked down. When she popped up more then 100 feet down from iron ring all of us were shocked. She popped up holding her paddle and started swimming like nothing happened. That beatdown definitely takes the cake for the biggest beatdown I have ever seen in person or on video. If you ever plan on running iron ring at 11 and 1/2 on the gauge then you should be prepared to take a VERY VERY deep and long swim.
