Oh joys of being an organiser with over enthusiatic participants - he says
for having tried himself!

Flexible for dates when the group decides. However will need to understand
when the helo flies in and out, even if there are two rotations. Taking
more
than 6 working days holidays will be hard.
Another option that has always appealed to me would be to paddle back by
canoe in that case to Adolfstrom. Sorry Roger if I am throwing another
spanner in the works: do not know whether feasible with rapids, duration
and
logistics with canoes but the thought crossed my mind. Please let me have
your thoughts. Anyone else interested?
I would had that I do not want to see a helo rotation for a group collapse
because of my fancy idea. I am prepared to contribute for a return flight
as
required.

All fun, he?

Actually, there are canoes to be rented starting from the major calm stretch
just outside Adolfstrom. It works this way: You pick a canoe number, then
you paddle upstream to the first rapids. You lock the canoe by a tree then
walk past the rapids and take the canoe with the exact same number. Repeat
this until you reach the Clave central, which is where you have to stop
anyway since the last canoe will have been 2 kilometers downstream. Now you
have canoes for the journey back ;-)
Not many choose this way up there, and even less will have the stamina to
paddle and walk as far as to our Clave central. Canoes are available in
three sets.

Don't worry about finding companions for the helicopter after say a week.
More people than you will think that a week is enough.
