Ran the upper stretch on 5/12/2012 at 1300 cfs or so. Six Pin has some new wood (at least new to me) stacked up above the crux on the river right side that significantly restricts the line. It's still runnable, but basically zero room for any error going into the crux move at the end of the rapid and the wood hangs out right where the flow pushes you off the right bank. It wouldn't be as big of an issue at lower flows - say around 1000 cfs or below. The log jam mentioned below a ways down from Six Pin is still there, but has an open line on the left side that you can't see until you're right on top of it - we verified it's wide open after portaging though.
