barb: Along the lake looks like there might have been a lot of rocks.

kissy: Our #5 was to the NW of yours, in one of those small reentrants at the bottom of that bigger reentrant that your control was in, and we had the same #6. I saw the upper route but opted for the lake route and it wasn't bad at all. I was hoping for an unmapped trail around the lake, and there was an intermittent one. Then the cliffs just turned you up the reentrant and right in to 6.

PG: Folks running about the same speed as me on other legs were 45-60 seconds faster on this one. I heard, as Kissy says, it wasn't bad at all along the lake.

dness: The Red course had a long leg that involved the same choice, but with the target control much further to the west. I overheard a conversation saying that the two choices were pretty much of a wash. That would imply that the lakeside route was superior for the Green leg (for which the alternative nvolved an extra (tricky?) descent), as Peter indicates.
