River Beta:


This was first run on Dec 10 2008 after a rain of 1.47 inches...

From Boatertalk.

From Jordon Rice:

I would say it class V run for sure. Due to the fact that Conner is tight, technical & continuous and North Suck is going to be big and meatyJ It’s a step up from Cain, but in line with Suck Creek’s difficulty. So if you confident on Suck you should be fine. Oh we took out a the Confluence of North and South Suck due to the fact Suck was off the charts when we set shuttle.

 

The First D Crew:

The First D grew was Jordan Rice, Jason Rodwell and Mike Campbell....... all Signal Mtn boys:)

***Warning label***

Whitewater paddling is VERY Dangerous, and you should get instruction before ever attempting even to paddle flatwater. One of contributors to this web site has personally helped bury 3 kayaking friends, this isn't a joke. Whitewater paddling can ruin your life through accidents and can effect your family and friends throughout a lifetime.

The information on this page is incomplete, inaccurate, and very unreliable.   Use with caution.  Whitewater paddling is a dangerous sport and the information here is not a substitute for actual knowledge and skill.  The authors are not liable for your actions. Go ahead and kill yourself if you want to, but don't blame others for you actions and decisions that you will make on and off the river.
