Clearing "trolls" w/Nut/Zitch from the Get Stoked ROGAINE. Not sure of total pack weight but it was well over 50#.
Waited for the rain to stop and then started a fairly short loop with the option for a second providing enough time. As we started I realized we were missing a clue sheet which turned out not to be a major problem but I was a bit concerned.
The first control was misplaced and we ended up searching the right reentrant first which was pretty green. After wasting time there we had trouble attacking the second control. I didn't have a great attack point and left REALLY early. That left a lot of traveling in the reentrant which was also green. We climbed out reattacked, re-located, and then finally found the control.
After we climbed back out and to the highest control we took a lunch break. From there it was mostly downhill. We went out to 91 and I meant to use GPS distance but forgot to check right away. I was concerned that I passed the right reentrant and since we were already late I didn't want to spend time checking the wrong one which looked a bit green and decided to only check the closer one without any luck. Turns out the second one was right.
We bagged (successfully snuck up on) the last 4 "trolls".
