Comments
Comments: Easterly side of the Precipice Path was very indistinct in many places... Even hard to find at its beginning. Because of all the rain lately we climbed up through some pretty impressive waterfalls. Wet boots and socks at the finish, since my good boots are out for repair.It was quite interesting in the 100% humidity and fog and pushing through wet vegetation.Got a few good views at the end as the sun began to make some appearances.
