Comments
Comments: Trails were mostly dry.

Precipice Path was challenging, especially with the heat emanating from the ledges. A family from the nation to the north did their best to ruin the experience of people below them, as they thought it was funny to spit on the rungs/ledges, and wouldn't let anyone pass them at their glacial pace.

Champlain North Ridge was rough with the hot weather. Orange and Black Path has some nice stone work, but has more ups and downs than can be depicted on the map; also requires a little downclimbing on the Precipice Path (but not the most difficult parts).
