Re: Lower Gauley rapid ratings SRsteelheader New

	Personally I consider the Lower G at 2800 solid class 3.  I consider the upper at 2800 solid class 3 with five class 4s.  Two years ago I considered the Lower class 4 and the Upper scared the shit out of me.  Some folks consider the middle mile of the Narrows class 4.  I consider it full-on class 5.  It's all about one's perception based on  his/her experience.  With that being said, the Lower Gauley is a great low-stress, skill building river like the Middle Ocoee.

NO! NO! NO! BMan1 New

If perception has no influence why are many previous Class 5's Class 3? <NT> duckypaddler New

He's right, Mr. No. G New

River rating is supposed to be about difficulty and not the skill of the paddler lrcable New

Rating must be a unbiased grade of difficulty and consequences or people will get hurt/killed! shutterbug New

Well said, Larry! <NT> Wilko New

Ratings are supposed to provide a common language BMan1 New

So you interpreted a rapid class IV last year, and this year a class III. What does that say? Wilko New

Actually, some of the people here would tell you that I'm more of a Weber kind of guy... Wilko New
