that's a good tough river, one of the most demanding in the southeast per Dave Bender in his book "Carolina whitewater", my hat off to you and your skill to do this, thanks for the video, I've hiked in this area before, next door county from me

I love that canyon in there and I agree it’s 16 miles of class 5 with some mandatory portages. A paddling friend of mine lost his life in there in 2018 on seriously just a no name rapid. It’s one of the stoutest runs in the southeast

I backpack and fish the gorge a bunch and love watching these kayak videos. I can spot holes from the videos that would take hours and hours to find hiking. Although I've hiked every trail in the gorge, the LGT doesn't stay right next to the river the entire way. These videos are valuable

Wade did y’all put in above or below Linville Falls? Very impressive! That gorge is One of my favorite spots especially wiseman’s view and hawksbill. Hiking out of that gorge will wear you out too!

It’s a very difficult and dangerous River one of the most difficult in the southeast if you have the skills on lots of class 5 runs you will be ok with a proper guidance there if not it could be very bad. As for gear it’s a creek boat run I paddled the ant there but I had done the run few time that year and knew it pretty good but it’s a creek boat run and as for someone to guide you that’s a tuff one you beat bet is Facebook groups for the area and maybe meet up and paddle with some crews somewhere else to see that your serious paddler

Why would you take out at Spence ridge and not after cathedral gorge at Conley or the lake?

Yo buddy, I’ve been eyeing Linville for many moons. What’s the level at in this video. Also, I R1/R2 rubber, what say you on it going in rubber?

It’s very dependent on your skill level I would say the Linville gorge is one of the most demanding class V runs in the east USA I would not recommending R2 but that’s just me

Really good man. What size antix is it? I have the large myself but haven't learned to roll yet. Noob lol. Been to a roll session and now realize the difficulty it takes to do what you and others do. Crazy stuff and really is addicting.

Wade Harrison yea in your video it did look good. Why i was curious on size. I'm fat though and 210lbs lol so went with the large myself. Being new i figured best to have volume. 🚣

Totally understand that its so much better to have that extra volume for river running..
