| Comments: |
Quite a sunny, hot day to be out, but the wind in the morning made Glen Boulder a little scary on the ledges. It was smooth sailing after we hit Davis Path and the wind did subside throughout the day. I was toying between taking Rocky Branch and Glen Boulder back and ended up going with the latter after hearing that Rocky Branch was a "swamp" and didn't find the uphill back to be as bad as it was made out to be! |
