Trip Report

ReporterChuck Williams

Following our participation in the 2007 Tellico River Clean-Up some of us from Atlanta Whitewater Club ran the river. I had one combat roll under my belt when we started and got two more as the day went on. I flipped once at first ledge, the landing was shallow and I hit a rock about eight inches under water & I rolled up.

I was having good river karma between the roll and clean up so I decided to show off a little on my first waterfall at Middle Ledge. I did a decent rail grab though it took more concentration than I thought it would take. I forgot to put the nose plug on but I landed real clean. I love the ledges!
