approaching another hard part of the hike. From here, hike up to the scree slope and stay as high as you can, near the gorge wall. The ground is flatter near the top. The ground is like gravelly sand and not so stable. You will sink down 6-8 inches in the "softer" areas. Stay low and lean left slightly toward the high point. You want your feet to sink in a bit to get a firm hold.
