Today I was looking for a workout hike that did not involve bushwhacking, so what else would I hike besides Mount Ord?

FR27 was about the same as last time -- I wonder if it will get more eroded during monsoons this summer. I did not try to drop down into the trench that is halfway up FR27; instead I bypassed it by going up an embankment just before the trench.

There was still some ice on FR626 in 2-3 places, and I took it slow in those sections, especially on the way down.

It was breezy at the summit, and I was wishing that I had brought another layer; but when I got back down to FR27, I took a layer off. It turned out to be a pleasant descent.
