 | Comments: |
Sphinx: we lost the trail once on the descent, at a waterfall around 3900-4000'. We should have crossed the river above the falls, but got back on trail below the falls.
Edmands Col Tr: the spring and surrounding mossy area was a treat
Six Husbands: physical to climb indeed, but not as scary as I had made it out to be by reading about it
Epic day. Glad to be on Philip Werner's Redline finish hike. |
