Yesterday the lower peak was covered, good run! Crew of 6!

I miss the old Island drop..

Guessing today the rock was under... Though the gauge was dropping it was warmer...Anybody get up there?

Ya, the old island drop boof was probably the coolest move on the run. Were you guys running right, or far left?

We went far left, been many years since I've gone far right.

Looks like right would go, hard to get a boof, looks shallow.

Left is easy now.

Right was good at higher flow, enough water there that you can arc into it and catch a good boof. Not as good as the ol duck and boof line, but still fun. As it gets lower the boof on the right isn't as good.

Anybody have a prediction for the level tomorrow? It's supposed to be pretty hot, but the SF gauge is predicting a low, steady flow.

Water was flowing over the cup this evening. The higher point of the Rock was out of the water.

Not a recent picture... but this is about what it looked like last night, level on gauge 380 rising to 420.

I'll be headed to leavenworth and I'd be game for a lap on the way over. Any takers?

Water flowing through cup, 1" of lower peak exposed @2:30. Flow felt longish for that cup level. Wonder if micro tribs below cup below cup being basically dry made the ruby a bit bonder than I remember at that cup level. Anyhow - there's your update.

11:50 cup has water lapping into but is not flowing thru it. I scouted the drops and you could get down it but IMO it's too low for a drive up here.

Too low??? That's the perfect level to run the namesake drop!

At the new "normal" levels it's scary.
Has anybody fallen into the wall this season? I'd like to hit it sometime after work low from top to bottom. Maybe tomorrow or Fri?

Oops, just seeing that I should have posted here instead of posting a new thread.

Anyways, top of rock is exposed with the cup full of water as of 7:30 tonight.

Cupdate from Lubes... supposed to rain up there today, so it might fill up a bit more.

Water lapping into the cup tonight. Was up in source lake basin and can confirm that there's enough snow to juice it up again the next time we get some hot weather.

Bonus points for anyone coming back over the pass who can take a look and post levels. Almost certain to be too low tomorrow - but getting a level will set a baseline that'll help interpret the gauge data once the temps pick back up on Tues/Weds.
