Joined Pam for this fun hike. Water along the Dutchman was a treat as well as in the creekbed near the base of Palomino. Bushwhacking up the ravine was fairly light, thicker and steeper going up the second ascent from the cliff base but the trail well-defined. Cresting the mountain was a kick, with cool views and terrain. Discovered a mailbox that someone from Ithaca, New York(?) had planted on 1.31.12. Not brave enough to venture out on the top of the fin, Pam checked out the north side a little. Great hike.
