Hello Brian - the E is for Edwin.

@@bobmcgraw thanks from Glasgow

@@bobmcgraw do you have ancestry in Scotland or Ireland?

Depends on the time of year and how much it is raining throughout the canyon. But it is very common.

Primary video cameras were GoPro Heros 8, 9,11. I used a MAXOAK Portable Power Station 500Wh AC50S to power a Canon R6 and the GoPro that took most of the footage. It lasted through until the last day of our 22 day trip so it was perfect. Over 5,000 stills and over 1,500 video clips. Most of the video was pretty short (15 seconds or less). The rapids had the longest segments.

You are correct but the GC is rated on a scale of 1-10. It's confusing to most and it needs updating for clarification. As a former GC guide, I personally think it's the outfitters that are just trying to hype the river more to make it more impressive. Not knocking the Canyon any, but there's bigger stuff in Cataract Canyon which you can find here on YT.

@@Michael65429 Interesting. Thanks for the info. I'd imagine it does involves some marketing. We portaged around a class 6 this weekend on the Payette and it was way gnarlier than what they are showing as a class 6. In my eyes, it should mean you are risking life, if you run it. .I.e. it's impassable, unless your are stupid and lucky, or professional and still lucky (rafts not kayaks). Seems like there would be some benefit to having a consistent system like they do in rock climbing routes or similar.

Western rivers use a scale to 10

@@oldboater Not any of the western rivers I’ve floated. Payette, Snake, Salmon, Lochsa, Yellowstone, Selway and Rogue. Must be a Colorado thing.

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't know how to say it. I'll create an updated version using the right terminology.

@@bobmcgraw , I feel your terminology is fine and it speaks to the river you are rafting. If I'm not mistaken, not all rivers are rated using the International class system (1-6) that @rtennant is referencing, although most around the world do use this scale. The Grand Canyon stretch of the Colorado River is one of these exceptions along with a few other big-water Western rivers, where the rapids are classified on the 1-10 rating scale. e.

What an arrogant remark

Also wondering the flow

I have a Hero8 with image stabilization. I was a rider so I just held it while sitting up front. Have a great trip!!!!
