| no partners | | Long rugged day up Sutherland Tr. from CatSP all the way to the start of the ridge, just over 7 miles, and back again. Interesting day. After fishing through the first drainage after the road, the second only had a couple of potholes of water, mostly in the lower crossing, not the upper. The upper was nearly dry. Some bear scat, two deer, a sporting amount of trail finding but nothing too serious. Some very overgrown sections, but enough cairns to reassure, at least on the climb. Many are not well placed to lead the way on the descent, and it was easy to start blasting down the slope off trail 10-30 ft a few times.
Overall a most excellent hike, but tough in the summer. Started with 4 liters of water, gathered a liter of rather tannic but filtered water from a puddle on the way down. Those little silicone trail cups are useful for something. What more can you want? views, epic climbs, route finding, absurdly steep trail, and drinking out of puddles. |
