I thought class V was "impassable". More like class three out West. No big deal for an experienced river runner.

Class V has always been considered runnable. Sweets falls on the Gauley is class-lll-V based on water levels. Pretty strait forward drop all in all but a nice effort in a drift. Hitting postage stamp rock with a hard boat would not be fun. ;-)
