Kayaking in Gauley River – West Virginia, US
Every year, America turns West Virginia’s Gauley River into world’s one of the best rivers to kayak. It becomes world’s most sought after whitewater playground. The river and its entire package of Class 1-5 rapids are up for wild navigation for the next six weekends. During this time, many kayakers, expert as well as amateurs arrive here to test their skills and paddle along the upper and lower Gauley River.
Though kayaking in this river is said to be completely out of danger, but it’s the Upper Gauley that brings on the real challenge, and it’s known as the “Pillow Rock”. The trail that leads down from the gorge rim witnesses the rafts flipping violently and kayaks crashing mercilessly. The rapid here comprises the river’s entire flow overlapping into an ‘L' shaped, and with the house-size rock standing on river’s left side, it forms the famous “Pillow”. Staying along the right line here is the trickiest part of game.

Expert Tips
Kayaking needs fast and continuous paddling, which can be physically exhausting. A few weeks advance to your trip, make sure to get into decent physical shape with lots of stamina. It is ideal to know swimming even though you will be wearing life jackets. Since it is important for you to be comfortable in water, so, learn some basic paddling strokes and how to launch a kayak. Better is, kayak with a group of 5-6 experienced kayakers. Going alone could turn out disastrous.

Rock Climbing at Yosemite National Park - US
Rock climbing is one sport that requires hard work, patience, balance and subtlety; probably much more than brute strength. Although there are many good and easier climbs in Yosemite at Half Dome and Cathedrals and other rocky areas, but the “El Captain” provides what we say the real bloody challenge.
Towering 7,500m above sea level, the rock face throws routes to climbers that are of utter difficulty, ‘nose’ being the toughest. On some spaces you will find no handholds, and have to thrust your hands and feet in cracks and then pull yourself up solely upon your sheer will. Now does that evoke adventure thirsty spirit in you or damp the very excitement?
So, ditch that beach holiday, and head towards the real excitement!

Therefore, prior to climbing in Yosemite, sharpen your gear placing, anchor setting and rope management skills to near perfection. Experts advise to start with the lowest grades of cracks and after success with one-pitch lead, move on with multi-pitch climbs.
