My brother and I went in there about 6 weeks ago and it was mostly clean with a few issues: the "best cross-current boof in the state of washington" rapid had some wood in the LZ that could be boofed over left. The next rapid downstream, the double drop, had wood in the second drop that could be missed right. From there down there was nothing noteworthy. The three mega rapids above the AW-sanctioned put-in were all runnable (I recommend hiking up to where the river is visible directly below the trail and scrambling down from there - it adds about 5 minutes of easy walking to the hike); the first big one has some wood at the bottom on the left, easy to see while scouting; the second one is clean in all three doors and the third one is clean. Between the second and third mega rapids there was some wood that didn't trouble us at fairly high flow (2500 cfs), but might require a portage at current flow conditions. Definitely a classic and some hikers told me that there is more raging gnar further upstream.
