"J. A. M." Typed in Message-ID: So, what I have seen, and read, is that experienced river runners tend to down grade a river. JAM Not at all, I am just stating a realistic view of the difficulty of this rive. Rafting companies do tend to dramatize the difficulty rating, bu there is nothing class V about the Lower Gauley. With the exception of Mash and Pure Screaming Hell, most of the rapids are very straight forward. Even the rapid that started this thread, Gates of Heaven, only requires that you miss a hole on the right and not let your boat get pushed too far to the left at the bottom, it just a matter of paddling down the middle. Big waves don't increase the difficulty rating on a river. SYOTR Larry C. I never said that the Lower Gauley was class 5. It was the original poster that had it mixed up. JAM |
