Solo trek down BA turned into an extremely windy trip to the River and up lower Miner's.
It was SO windy I opted to skip upper route aka skeleton point route. The wind was gusting then howling and at a few spots, especially through the narrow Tapeats sections the wind would come screaming at me so hard I would be knocked to the ground!!
Spotted a bighorn just west of the lower miners Tapeats break!!! Sweet!

I headed up from miners toward the tonto through a gorgeous little BA shale mini drainage, lots of bighorn evidence there!!

Reached the tipoff in a minute and hauled up the red n whites, shivering in the icy wind the whole time. Darn winter weather!!

For my first and longest trip since moving back I'm very happy with myself. I has a blast and man it sure is great to be home!!
