Paddled the chasm on 8/31/2012 at 257 cfs. We did not encounter wood or beams in play; but saw beams on the side of the chasm so its probably best to scout if in doubt or after heavy rain. The rapids are boatable at this level (not deserving of the IV+ ratings though). The paddle out was boney (a few parts we did need to portage), but from our groups perspective, worth it for the experience of the chasm if you are not usually in the area.
