| partners | | Wow what a great group of die-hards. We did a modified 10mi route via Y-Bar then directly down Suicide Ridge to the Big Kahuna waterfall. Y-Bar is an obstacle course. Stefan hit it at pretty good clip. We breezed the 4mi 2423AEG to the saddle in about 1h 40m then headed up. Nice little fun spot on the way up to get in some easy climbing. 3h 10m to peak includes 10m break at saddle and 5m break midway
Took a 45m break at the peak. That view down to the west is wicked steep! Heading down we decided on a direct route down Suicide. We made it but I do not recommend it. The dead manzanita, gazillion agave shooters just a few inches tall cover the terrain, some locust of course and decent on loose terrain isn't for the faint of heart. Unbelievably after thinking we cliffed out Berk busted through and we all rejoiced!
The slow fighting descent through manzanita eat up the clock but back on the trail we cooked it home. My pants look about as bad as I can remember. It's good to finally knock this one off.
Gain was 3680ft, AEG 4405ft, hike time was 5h 30m. There's no pen or pencil to sign the register. |
