1. | Took trail W all the way to woods, then cut S | ||||||
2. | Straight up the very narrow canyon w/ dangerous footing | ||||||
3. | This was nasty control in a dangerous area. I'm sure I fell off map and wandered forever but so did everyone else. The control was much lower in elevation than where my group were searching. | ||||||
4. | I went over the top & explored two deep-cut passes before getting to correct one. | ||||||
5. | +02:00 | On dangerous footing my thumb came off map and I headed NNE & round base of hill as if going from 5 to 6. At least 200m added to this leg. | |||||
6. | back down reentrant & then rounded W base of hill | ||||||
7. | nice long run to trail, on trail, N up green but still didn't run under 10min/k | ||||||
8. | N to trails & latched on to Emily flying by | ||||||
9. | I decided routing different then Emily (& should not have gone on my own) & ended up well below control. | ||||||
10. | +05:00 | I circled round & round & round seeking this one. | |||||
11. | S to trail where I met Eric but he wouldn't follow my trail run. Robbie passed by just before we left trail S for control. | ||||||
12. | Don't know why but I took far too long getting to control and punched just before Eric arrived. | ||||||
13. | This section of map is always trouble for me. Maybe this winter I'll figure out what's wrong with this leg. Fortunately I eventually stumbled into swamp and worked it back N & W. | ||||||
14. | I stopped too many times checking out wrong rocks along the way. | ||||||
15. | Ski trail is mowed so it was fast run to rock stairs and broken path to sheer drop to control | ||||||
F. | Even with the full out run to finish I couldn't break 10min/k |
