Didn't see anyone else all day. Found a herd path around 2,600' in the saddle. There's a wonderful 180 degree view ledge at the summit. I planned a long bushwack for the way down, winding around the mountain but the flies were biting. Picdarin was ineffective, as was 30% deet Off. I beelined back to the trail after an hour or so. |
