| no partners | | Great day in the Supes. We set up a key exchange with three others in our group. My wife and I started from the soon-to-be closed Carney Sprimgs TH. Arrived at 6:30 am; a dozen cars already in them parking lot.
We saw the flash of a headlamp at the Wave Cave, but we didn’t cross paths with anyone until descending from a side trip to the summit of 5057.
Weather we was lovely, aside from a sometimes cold breeze.
Trail seemed more distinct than in past trips, which is to be expected. Still some tricky spots between 5057 and the couple of high points past the Hieroglyphics junction. In my mind, I always simplifiy this section.
Most interesting development …. Just before completing the loop around the head of canyon west of hog, a fairly legitimate trail has been developed to access Peak 5024 from the east side. Not just a use trail, but built with some tool work. Who developed this? Looks like it could have stared out as part of a fire line control/access. In any event, it simplifies making a true Ridgeline, hitting both peaks.
Went down the west side in the normal route and out to Flatiron before descending with the masses.
Finished up about 2:30. Great day!
PS-When I tried to create a triplog from RS, it did not list Superstition Ridgeline as a “nearby” option to select. I saw no option to affirmatively search for the trail I wanted. It did allow an option to pull up recent photosets. Pursuing that option, I created my photoset, but my new photoset did not show up on the recent photosets in RS. So, my triplog and photoset are not linked. Not sure how to fix that. |
