| 5. | Missed slight right, look left, nailed it. | ||||||
| 6. | Nailed it. | ||||||
| 7. | Crossed the stream after Jim Eagleton, then went up the vertical green lines for about 20 seconds. Realized it, went back to the flat, passed Eagleton again. Did not take the trail. Nailed it. | ||||||
| 8. | Nailed it. | ||||||
| 9. | Left of the line. Nailed it. | ||||||

| 15. | First loss of map contact, but found the reentrant NNE of the bag and nailed it. | ||||||
| 16. | Thought that this was #16 and left WNW, as if headed to #17. Realized this after about 35 s and corrected, but went through the green blob. Nailed it. | ||||||
| 17. |
Did not like map +02:50 | Was expecting it to be at the edge of the pit (high), so was going along the northern E–W boundary of the green and looking to my left. Kept doing that until saw the paved road ahead. Turned around and came back, saw Alan Young. "It should be here." "Yell once you get it." Alan had no hesitation going into the green, and found it about 20 s after the conversation. | |||||
| 18. | Nailed it. | ||||||
| 19. | Through the assembly area, nailed it. | ||||||
| 20. | Through the finish, nailed it. | ||||||
