[Rhodes22-list] Bill's Bahamas Adventure

Tue Sep 26 15:56:53 EDT 2006

I pulled out at NOC (Nantahala Outdoor Center) just below Lesser Wesser
(normally a Class III+ but a Class IV+ due to high water on Sunday, or so
they told me ).  I think the Class V you are referring to is called Greater
Wesser just downstream of NOC.  It is considered VERY dangerous due to
sharp rocks and no clear route through it.

Bill,

I have kayaked the Nantahala a few times. I bet it was up quite a bit. Did
you pull out at the Nature Center (or whatever it is called).....if you
keep
going I think there is a Class V!
