Surprised that the large blowdown across trail between the last 2 crossings had been cut out of trail. |

One dog having trouble going down the slide; might be tough on some. Plentiful water. |

 | Comments: |
Conditions as expected. Quite a bit of mud, puddles, slick roots and wet rocks. Wet slippery rocks coming down slide. Very slow descent today. Busy spot; counted 57 who had summited. At least the summit area has one obvious path now. Did not talk to anyone who had taken any of the bushwhack routes. |
