We ran Eleven Mile yesterday at about 225 cfs. It's definetely bony in a lot of spots especially between the top and bottom class V. One person in our party ran the lower one and had an impressive and clean run. There were a couple of spots with wood in the section between the gnar, but you can see them all from the road and only one needed a portage. There was some floating wood in spots though and this run has the potential to have some serious wood lodged where you want to be, so just keep a heads up on the drive in.
It looks like it's still rising. Another 50-100 cfs and everything is gonna' fill in a lot and the V's may become a little less manky with a few more lines opening up.
If you are gonna' run the V's make sure and take a long scout since there are several vertical pin rocks in the main drops and a couple of undercuts, as well as sieves. But it does go and it's a hell of a run.
Enjoy!
(Oh yeah, it costs five bucks (cash) to get into the canyon and no parks passes cover it)
