The wood situation is largely the same as in 2022; keep an eye out. It seems that something shifted in Manadrin Palace between the two ledges. I pitoned above the last ledge (on what was previously the correct line) and melted into the hole. The rest of the group portaged.  It might not be a factor at high flows, but scout accordingly. The photo shows a bit of a bulge river center.
