| no partners | | I didn't feel like driving far and hadn't hiked in the Catalinas in over a year so chose this. Really nice views the whole way but it wiped me out! I just can't seem to stay on a trail 
It gets a bit jungly immediately after leaving the trail, but there is a clear-ish route if you just follow the path of least resistance. On the hike in, I stayed on the ridge proper except when necessary to bypass gendarmes until I got close to the summit, where the beta said to stay east. But the east slope was kind of steep and the footing was really crappy due to typical post-burn yuckiness. On the descent I stayed on the summit ridge as long as possible and found it much easier. Below the summit ridge, I followed game trails which largely stayed west of the ridge. I had hoped to make the loop with Hutch's pool and out Sabino but couldn't find a one-handed way off the summit on the north side.
Just a few flowers, no rattlesnakes, and no other humans after leaving Esperero. |
