I'd love to come down and do this, but I don't think the east fork will get above 600, and the cc gauge isn't showing any movement today (likely due to low freeze level).

I had a friend bump down it today, that means it is at least doable.  He said visual on it was 1 unit.  Battleground is scheduled for some rain tonight, i'm really hoping that the level gets a bump.

Edit:

1- the boof flake at big kahuna is shallow and can kick you into the left wall

2- there is wood that is easy to avoid at the rapid right after the swizzle stick gorge, the one with the boof move in the center

3- someone in my group noticed a log before the last drop in boulder garden about a foot under the surface on the right side, not really in play but good to know its there

4- there is a rock in the 3rd? boulder garden after kahuna that has kinda an undercut upriver side (about 3' wide).  It looks fine, but it sucks you under if you try and bounce off of it, in the first 20 yards of the rapid.  We had a scary pin there but the guy luckily un-pinned after about a minute.
