1. | Straight, R of cliff, L of hill | ||||||
2. | +00:10 | stayed low below rock, up rentrant and across trail, got off slightly L and investigted boulder on NE edge of circle before realizing I was slightly high and looked back to see the more likely boulder | |||||
3. | straight & cautious | ||||||
4. | again, straight and cautious keeping close tabs on contours and feature placements | ||||||
5. | up hill to trail junction, hoping it was apparent with the recent logging activity. It was. Then a straight compass shot to the marsh and right in. | ||||||
6. | straight, carefully checking contours, walls, trails and bare rock on the line. | ||||||
7. | originally considered going L of the rocky bits, but the low road looked fine, so went R of the rocky stuff through the (non-)green and in. | ||||||
8. | +00:10 | W to the marsh then following line of hilltops across the top and then L of the hill above control. A little off as the boulder seemed a little off relative to the cliff above. Easy correction | |||||
9. | +00:35 | Careful over the top through the rocky bits, but didn't see a viable route around, got a little bit N of control and got confused by an additional unmapped trail in the general vicinity so paused to figure out what was going on, then sorted it out {edit} it appears the extra trail was the first small trail, which took me quickly off my intended route, so I ended up with too many trails once I actually turned downhill.. | |||||
10. | along the line, slow in the rocky bits, to the trickle, across and up slope to the boulder. | ||||||
11. | +00:45 | straight through the marsh then down the hill to what should have been an easy control (saw it from well up the hill) but a lot of brambles in the timber harvest area slowed my progress significantly as well as drawing quite a bit of blood. | |||||
12. | A slow picking through the rocks and brambles and logging slash, but wound up at the correct location none the less. | ||||||
13. | Picking the best line through slash up to trail, then on bearing from trail junction, past wall/trail junction, staying below the rockier mess, across the rocky reentrant and up. | ||||||
14. | +00:10 | straight on bearing, a little slow climbing but also trying to visualize the whole hillside and the control siting against that backdrop. Started shifting a little left to a boulder just beyond the control, but corrected quickly | |||||
15. | +00:30 | straight, counting trail crossings, then using rocky reentrants but apparently overshot by one, hesitated, then came back | |||||
F. | down to the trail and back |
