Deadly Class V Kayaking: Greater Wesser Falls ( Worser Wesser )
Loading...
Uploaded by GG4S3xTo on Apr 23, 2007
Eric Brown running the Greater Wesser Falls (Class IV-V) on the Nantahala River in North Carolina. Videography by Stephen Garner. Special thanks to Roy from 3dlux.com for helping digitize the footage from our archaic camcorder. Eric did this run mid-day at full flow. The consequences of failing to stay up right on this rapid are so severe that the people taking pictures left because they didn't want to see, what they were sure was going to be, Eric's painful and untimely death! In the next to last hole you can see Eric high brace which resulted in a moderate injury to his shoulder.

@GeorgeRBM1999 No there nothing in it now, the NOC went through a cleared it all out. Its good to go, and its a much easier line than it looks.

Not a class V, especially at that level.

Glad it got cleaned up, hopefully some day soon it can be run by self guiders, I have stared at that fall the last couple years thinking "Is there any way I can convince the company to believe I goofed up and just ended up going over this?"

Yes, if you mess up, it would hurt, but in a boat you can just line up in the beginning,hold on, and bounce your way down
-
That is supposed to be a V???

It's just downriver from lesser wesser (Nantahala Falls). Just east of the ropes course (NOC) there's a little area with railing against the river where you can watch it.
