4.1 and steady
The Md chute was difficult but doable. I had luck going up to the eddy next to the rock, ferrying out pretty far then paddling up slightly right, then hard right. I saw Peter do it and it looked like he just went straight up. Wetbottom seemed harder at 4.1 then the other day at 4.2. Definitely used more of the 1st eddy at 4.1 and that was the key move. where at 4.2 it seemed that getting some momentum in the 1st eddy (a boat length of so) to ferry over to the 2nd was more important.. Certainly at 4.1, being patient in the 1st eddy was key and if you had a decent ferry high up to the second the rest was cake. More of a visualize the move/technique and it was easy.

Peter is an alien! We mere mortals can't compete with what he can do with those elongated, triple-jointed arms...or his helmet tan. :-)
Center Chute was very attainable right or left. I think we had a number of first-timers on the elevator --- congrats to them!
The VA Chute slot was also very do-able.
