2nd day of redlining up here. Today, the weather cooperated and views were ever present. Also made for a more enjoyable morning than I thought as the sun was warm and winds very light. Still amazed at the number of unprepared, uneducated, and blissfully ignorant people up on these big hills. So many "which trail is this?" "which one is Washington?" "does the trail get easier?" "why isn't there a road down this side of the mountain?" and other crazy questions. Anyways, didn't hear of any rescues so that's always a good thing. As noted, Edmands has some difficult spots due to the awkward line it takes and some brushy spots, but not crazy tough. Heading down Jewell, the ever-improving footing was very welcome as my dogs were barking after a couple of days on rock. Paid $15 to the caretake to stay at the Perch last night. Tagged Adams V on my way out this morning and enjoyed another wonderful summer day. |
