Comments
Comments: Took 3:20 hours to the top then 2:52 hours with lunch coming down-i was pooped from the milage and going so fast. Just make sure to look for cairns because no markings and if you do not see a cairn cross look a. Little ahead and you will see the trail just go along the river bank-

91/100!!
