Congrats Chris! Don't feel too bad about that unplanned detour - people get off track in that area often, especially in the slabs above Mirror Lake. The trail becomes indistinct in several places. Most of the shortcuts on the trail involve bypassing all the various switchbacks in favor of a semi-direct route up/down some of the steeper slabby areas. You may have blazed a new shortcut that'll be named after you!


Thanks, Man. The funny part is the couple that witnessed me coming down the nasty slab asked "is this where we have to go??"...I could not help but laugh.
