Took LT and Profanity up and LT down. Trails fairly wet. If I were doing this again I would go in opposite direction. Exposure may play with your mind on the north side of Chin. Got beat up today; been at least 15 years since I went down LT on north side of Chin and quite a while since being on Profanity. Met a number of hikers who were coming down Profanity; probably for same reason as described above. Gorgeous day, great views and quiet with a 3:30 summiting time. Underhill side has much better graded options in my opinion. |
