RP, Third that.

More and more seem to be going up with the cables laying down
too. Done that too. And I felt safer with the cables
down since they flop over and you get some sticky granite to
actually walk on.
I does amaze me that there aren't more accidents on the
cables though. It's so polished from the bazillion people
going up the same exact route. I would think that
eventually they will need to do something w/r to that.

Steve, I was trying to get you to elaborate...
Personally I try to get at least 50% off trail into the
mix. After a few miles from the TH we rarely see
anyone. If I'm solo-ing and get to where I was gonna
stay and see people I usually move on or stealth camp.
