"Bangs' college summers were spent as a Colorado River, guide in the Grand Canyon. After college, Bangs and some, friends concocted a plan to run wild rivers in Ethiopia. In, February 1973, he and his crew successfully ran the Awash River, in Ethiopia. His identity as a river guide was solidified at, that point. Bangs and his penniless friends figured they could, finance a return trip or two by taking clients along. And so, they did – on the Omo in Ethiopia – and Sobek Expeditions, (co-founded with John Yost) was born, named in gratitude for, the Egyptian crocodile god who may have spared their lives on, those early first descents. Sobek became a river-running, exploratory company via which Bangs and fellow guides racked up, 35 first descents. Sobek Expeditions merged with Mountain, Travel to become Mountain Travel Sobek in 1991. Bangs served as, president of Outward Bound (2001–2002). " (from Wikipedia)
