No sign seen at Kate Sleeper Tr. jct. only arrows on rock nearby. Believe there used to be one; we could've missed it. Blowdowns 1 a little south of Middle Tri. and a couple on lower part of south end of Mt. Tripyramid Tr. (one causing a short rerouting). As mentioned in other reports the Livermore Tr. is quite washed out and Greeley Ponds Tr. is signed and plastic gated closed at the Livermore end. |

| Comments: |
Talked to a couple of Rangers on our way out. They said Greeley Ponds Tr. was badly damaged or nonexistant and that they had plans for repair work on the Livermore Tr.. Been 4 years since doing this loop but I thought the lower part of the North Slide was a little easier and the upper half was a little harder on account of new loose rock and sand on rocks and ledges. Remember cruising up quite confidently back then; never really got comfortable today. Maybe trails changed--maybe I'm older (oh no!}. |
