Using air and/or water temperature to relate to river grades perverts the

Yep, I agree. Paddling glacier melt rivers in the middle of the summer,
one learns that lesson very quickly! If I'm too hot, I'll roll to cool
off, if I'm too cold because I didn't wear enough for the water temp, I
might die.



Hmm, I'm not so certain the I agree that considering water temps perverts
the rating system, whether or not you are dressed appropriately.

I agreed with the dressing for the water temp, that's all.

I guess I should have clipped the first sentence of Carey wrote.
