Near Deaths on the Lower Gauley
So, what I have seen, and read, is that experienced river runners tend to down grade a river.
I don't know where you live (i.e. what rivers you are familiar with).
But someone who has just run the Royal Gorge (class IV, but guides call
it class V [at least to customers]) successfully for the first time is
NOT ready for Gore Canyon (real class V).
