Everyone morning I take a little swim in class 10 rapids. Pretty easy.
-
@612kratos or you could see this in person... that was a 33 foot boat. The helmet cams make everything look much smaller than they really are.
-
this is nothing. try the new river in west virginia. now that is fun!
-
God it looks amazing. I would love to go there. lucky dog!!!
-
@thetruthmaster1 Gauley is for sure exciting and breathtaking - Grand Canyon is beautiful but that's just spending good time with friends and enjoying the view. Russell Fork and Gauley and even Cheat in high water are rivers to get the adrenalin rush on
-
class 10? no one even uses that scale.... Lava Falls is a hard rapid but definitely runnable so more usual class V or class V+ would make more sense in ratings....
-
Actually the scale is 1-6 those are class 4s and 5 rapids.
-
Yeah but nobody uses the 10-scale system for the Grand anymore. The belknap guidebooks will probably always hold the 10-scale system, and the raft guides will feed it to the clients because it sounds cool. There is nothing in the Grand harder than class IV. Except maybe at ridiculously high water
-
@thetruthmaster1 The Grand isn't about whitewater. Only a true gaper would use the word "boring" in a description of the Grand Canyon
-
I have done the Grand Canyon in a oar boat, stunning but boring as far as whitewater rafting. Try the beast of the East, the Gauley River in West Virgina in the fall, that is exciting!

Sorry but you are wrong. Some Western rivers use the 1-10 system.
"The Grand Canyon, like other big-water Western rivers, uses a scale of 1-10 for rapids, 10 being the most difficult. (The Class I-VI classification of rapids is more common elsewhere in the US and internationally.)"
Look it up on wikipedia under List_of_Colorado_River_rapids_and_features
