Anyone been in Imlay lately? What are the conditions? How much hooking was there?

Did Imlay Sneak (Left Route) Thursday. Trip report to follow. Water conditions were cold, but our group of 4 stayed warm - 1 in drysuit, 3 in 7 mm wetsuits (farmer john and jacket w/ 5mm neoprene socks). No major pothole escapes (other than beach whale and partner assists). Lots of log jams, award starts - start wars area was nasty. End of that section was 20 foot logjam and climbing up was like taking your life in your hands - literally had logs falling all over the place trying to get up. 2nd narrows section was colder (we did not get cold however). Technical section took 6 hours (1st time through for 3 of 4 of us). Super fun, but pretty demanding even in "higher" water conditions.
