Ran it for the first time after last month's high-water event and found that the wood situation noted in August has changed generally for the better. The wood on the left-side of Boulder is gone, as is the wood at the top of the middle chute at Upper Revenue. The 'skinny chute' at the cave a few drops above Boulder may still have wood in it, but we couldn't tell for sure. However, there is now a very easy slot just to the right of it, which I would recommend unless you know for sure that far left is wood-free. At Drain Hole, there are a couple of logs criss-crossed vertically at 45 degree angles between the middle and right boulders. We had a swimmer here today, and at this flow, he was able to kick-off the bigger one that sits in the current running along the boulders but this could become very dangerous at higher flows, so take a good look at it before committing.
