'Trailhead Boogie' or 'West Prong Line'...i.e., left of island at 'Left Down Hut' has a log in the final drop as of 1/13. I was anxiously traveling down this side at 1.2' while running Henderson and scrambled rather quickly to a pool to avoid my head being taken off. Also, beware of boil and hole which forms at the top of Timber-rattler at high levels. There is a slab on river right which elevates the water level creating a difficult situation. One can easily be surfing next to a nasty undercut. At normal levels it is not much of a problem. I believe cheater lines open up on river left at high water, presenting the option to avoid river right main line and potential problems.
