Anyone scoped this in the last year? I know it is a narrow flow window even if the wood situation is clear, but it is one of those little gems that is oft overlooked, from what I hear.

So, anyone got current updates?

Anyone else got an eye towards this run like I do?

I'm interested. Been about 10 yrs for me

U can count me in to any day between now and January 4

A bit of a longshot (like this river usually is) but with a bit more rain tomorrow, the Raging might come up enough for a scouting run on Sunday. I'm gonna keep an eye on it and cross fingers.

Cool. I'd be stoked if someone was ELF or otherwise low water content to go in and probe it, then give me the green light if it was cleanish. Can you do that if you go?

According to my most trusted direct source of beta for this run I'm probably going to want 18-22k pumping through the Power House, which could spell a little bit of doom if the Raging was clogged w/ wood in the wrong spot. But honestly, I be stoked for any flow as long as I'm not scraping down it.

Definitely keep us in the loop and let us know what flows you have and how it is... Try to imagine what wood hazards would be like w/ more water because sometimes higher water provides egress.

I ran this in spring of this year and we ended up I think only doing one portage. We spend a lot of time scouting. The portage was very close to the top. But I would imagine that, given this only runnable when flooding, the wood changes with each run? Or maybe the wood rarely changes because this doesn't even flood that much. In either case, I am down to do it again. Though it's not looking likely this weekend as it looks like we hit our peek for  this rain cycle.

I would be interested in taking a look at this around 300 cfs... 

I live about a half a mile from the raging. I would be interested in getting on it at low levels as well. You can also put in up by highway18 and make it a bit longer run as well. Let me know when you all plan to run it!

I was out with NZA last year and we put in at 86th Street bridge in Preston so as to avoid the log jam. Not sure what's between there and I-90 (the recommended putin), but we figured it was unlikely we would find our shangri la in that quarter mile of river running through semi-rural surburbia. I'm curious what's up there, but it didn't seem worth it at the time.

Someone posted a video on here of the mm being well over 10+k that weekend. It was the flood that put "general log" at the lead in to house rocks. The Raging was in the neighborhood of 700cfs for most of the day. I still thought there were spots where the river could've used more water but mostly it was pretty friendly. I'm curious to hear what people think at elf.

It had a bit of a Tieton-like quality to it: fast, shallow, you don't find an eddy- you make an eddy. Definitely solid III+ boat and wood skills recommended. It's not for the casual class III boater. The run keeps you on your toes, but there are two really fun sections, one canyon and a decently long boulder garden (not in that order). I certainly recommend this run if you've already seen the mm and sf sno at epic levels. Watch out for wood!
