 | Comments: |
Finally did the great gulf. 6 husbands trail was fun. Lots of hand-over-hand scrambling around huge boulders and ledges,with several sets of ladders. There are no markings of any kind,so there is occasional evidence of some wandering off trail. Buttress trail seems little used, but a good choice for descent. |
