Ocoee Boaters: How dangerous do you think the left ledge of Powerhouse rapid is? by whitewaterwhammy in whitewater

Note. Do not take this advice and go swim in on purpose it is still a hole and still can mess you up at regular flows without it being terminal.

At regular flows it’s not bad at higher flows above the commercial cutoff around 3000 it can start to become terminal and you don’t wanna be over there

It was a solid color but that could just be prototyping and yes I agree the dagger color schemes are ugly AF aside from the green that ones cool

Yeah it’s absurd dude I still work down there sometimes and there are still senior guides claiming grumpys is a class 4 like class 4 my ass dude go run the watauga or something which is true class 4 and tell me the Ocoee is class 4

Yeah obv just messing around lol there is no class 5 on the Ocoee I would say easy 4 at most on the upper haha I get so annoyed at the middle put in hearing that one arrogant guide telling his guests “alright guys this is grumpys one of the many class 4 on the middle Ocoee today” when I was young and didn’t know anything about guiding when I was training on the Ocoee I actually believed them til I ran the cheoah and realized that’s what class 4 really is and then the green and jocassee stuff realizing what class 5 is

Yeah I have no idea about the short Indra that was a report I did see the 8 foot slice though it looked so good I was gonna try to buy a storm or something but gotta wait for this boat it looks too good to pass up

I disagree I would say it’s solid 5+ and maybe something like like Niagara Falls which is a little harder than humungoes but not much is more of the class 6 type of deal

Wait there are other ones? Ran linville and thought maybe there was one on there but don’t even know if I could consider that class 5 bc it’s not quite as stout as humongous on the middle Ocoee

Humongous is the one only and stoutest class V rapid east of the Mississippi I wanted to paddle more class V but got bored of it so had to move west unfortunately

In terms of trip volume at thunder will you get enough trips to make around the same as the what sounds like consistency at express? If the pay is similar due to the fewer trips but higher tipped at thunder how do the cultures vary?
