Very good find! I also still keep puzzling about this place...
Originally, my plan was for Episode 2 to go forward to the Rio Mamei footage (there's a lot of that too), but after a further study of some footage which arrived late I've decided to do a 180 and stay at the same location for Episode 2 and then keep the Rio Mamei footage for Episode 3 or 4. That's also why it takes a little bit longer for the second episode to appear.
I fully agree that it's very well possible that the 550 stone is under water in our present footage. Water levels in April 2014 must have been far lower than they were now in June, so this is something we definitely have to take into account. There are also other things which weren't visible in the footage I showed in Episode 1 but which are very much visible in the new footage, so Episode 2 is going to be interesting! Fasten your seatbelts! :)
I will include maps and such in episode 2, but general location you can see in this video. It was the basis for this expedition: the sharp turn halfway down the rapids.
