Steve, I "kinda" skip the ledges now and head up to the left and up right when they start. I didn't like going down them when they were wet from hail and rain. Easier, yea, not a biggie. Last year the Final 400 was interesting, but not bad at all after that first big step to get on them.
Amazing! Do you climb up to that Foxtail Pine, or stay down in the bushes?
So this picture is part of your "alternate" route?
No wonder I don't recognize the spot.
