Headed out for the Crockers in a bit of cloud but never really got rained on . A few sloppy and wet spots above the scree field but overall a nice ascent. Took a fast right and headed over to North with a few brushy spots but again more waterbar work. Had lunch back on South as the clouds lifted a bit. Herd path over to Reddington solid and easily followed. Arrived on summit with 2 other groups. Took the direct route down to the road on a great footbed with varying views. Such a great spot. Some wet spots on the road but nice walk out with wildflowers galore. Chilly! GReat day out with Tim and Valerie |
