| no partners | | Decided to head up to Pass Mountain today. Managed to snag the closest parking spot to the Wind Cave Trail, so that was kind of nice. Joined the conga line up to Wind Cave. My patience, which is minimal to begin with, only lasted so long before I just started marching between people who felt it was necessary to stop in the middle of the trail and have a conversation. Breezed past the cave and on up to 3127. Glad to leave the hordes behind. Lots of fresh blue arrows marking the quite obvious route up. Spent a moment on the summit before heading north on the ridgeline.
Fairly obvious route most of the way. Minimal vegetation to contend with, so that was good. Mostly just being careful to not step on a loose rock. Great weather and a nice breeze along the way. Also a quick stop at the Pass summit then continued north and then off the northwest side of the ridge, carefully picking my way down the cliff band. Once below that, it was a steep descent on the pea size gravel down to the main trail. No slipping or sliding, but it is somewhat tedious. Headed south on the loop trail back to the parking lot.
I may have to do this one a couple more times during the cooler weather. |
