Law enforcement began the extraction a few minutes before 3 pm. Deputy city attorney David Woboril—who was working his final week before retirement—called down to the dangling activists.
Mount says it wasn’t clear what officials wanted. “There was just a man in cargo pants yelling down at me,” she says.
Then two Portland police officers descended on harnesses, supported by Portland Fire & Rescue.
“Good afternoon,” they said. “It’s time for you to come down now. If you don’t do it voluntarily, I’ll do it for you.”
Once Mount realized that law enforcement was planning to attach her to ropes they controlled and cut her lines, she made a deal with them. “For my own safety, I negotiated with them,” she says. “I was able to descend on my own.”
She dropped onto a Multnomah County sheriff’s boat and was detained by the U.S. Coast Guard. Mount and two other climbers were handcuffed, returned to land, and placed in police custody.
“We were cited and released, which was not our expectation, actually,” Mount says, laughing. “We were prepped for much worse.”
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard herded kayakers toward the east bank of the river, away from the shipping channel.
Then at 5:15 pm, the Fennica began moving toward the bridge.
The atmosphere in the park changed immediately. Kayakers began launching in rapid succession, desperately paddling out toward the main channel. “We had plans for formations, but we didn’t have time,” DeVane says.
One man inflated a pool toy shaped like a shark, then rode it into the current. Another rolled a giant log down the beach and began pushing it out into the river. The ends of two park docks began to sink below the waterline, pushed down by the weight of the crowd trying to get closer to the scene.
As the Fennica approached the bridge, a dozen sheriff’s patrol and Coast Guard boats maneuvered through the flotilla, snatching at kayakers with poles.
Several kayakers found themselves capsized—including DeVane. He had only moments to react before a private security boat bumped his kayak, tipping it sideways and allowing water to rush in. A few seconds later, he was in the river.
A police boat picked him up after a few minutes, and he watched from there as the Fennica passed under the bridge amid a chorus of boos from the crowd on the shore.
“I was disappointed,” DeVane says. “I felt like I’d been rendered useless.”
The Fennica cleared the St. Johns Bridge at 5:55 pm. Five minutes later, Shell began its oil-drilling operations at its site in the Chukchi Sea.
Within days, the 39 hours at the St. Johns Bridge had already begun to recede into memory.
In Portland, the Willamette River became the site of another conflict: The Coast Guard shut down a Red Bull-sponsored homemade flying machine contest called the Flugtag after complaints by cruise boat the Portland Spirit.
In London, Greenpeace moved on to its next action. On Aug. 2, it sent a string orchestra to play a “Requiem for the Arctic” outside Shell offices.
“Rappelling from the bridge is a walk in the park,” Greenpeace USA director Annie Leonard told The Guardian, “compared to the risks we’ll face if we continue the climate-change trajectory we’re on now.”
Hales traveled to the White House, where both he and a kayaktivist asked Obama to halt Arctic drilling.
And the aerial protesters described their brief stay in Portland as a memorable trip.
“We had overwhelming support from the crowd,” Turnstone recalls. “People were yelling up to us, calling us heroes. It was wonderful for us.”
