1. | +01:00 | Up to the top of the hill, then parallel to the hill and on compass. Saw a bag ahead and right and got sucked off by it. Relocated off the small clearing that bag was in. | |||||
2. | +02:00 | Having come to 1 from the wrong direction, I promptly left it at 180, turning back after about 10 seconds when I confirmed that I was heading S instead of N. saw the boulder along the way, but still drifted too right. Not reading vegetation at all efficiently. Stopped when I had gone far enough and went L to find it. | |||||
3. | +01:00 | Crossed the trail and just by the L side of the big cliff, on compass, but somehow drifting too far left. Came to a cliff in front of me, so I knew I had to turn R. How did I get so far off? | |||||
4. | R of line, past control in clearing, thinking I would see it or catch the small trail that would lead to it. Saw the bag, but not the trail. Ok. | ||||||
5. | R of line, until I saw the depression on my L, which led right to it. | ||||||
6. | Best leg, counting spurs as I crossed them, using vegetation in last reentrant and shape of last spur to hit it right on. | ||||||
7. | +03:00 | Inexplicable. For a guy who was trying to follow his compass, I sure drifted right. Thought I had come to the open area before the control, but it didn't turn out right, so pressed on and up before relocating at a control on a rootstock. Yikes! | |||||
8. | +00:10 | Easy, although I spent a few seconds standing on top of the small cliff with the control, looking perplexedly at the larger cliff to my left | |||||
9. | Another good leg. L of line through the saddle. Lined up the spur to climb from there. Checked off a rootstock along the way. A little worried about all the traffic going up the reentrant way to my right, and stayed a bit right myself to hit the wall. | ||||||
10. | Thought I was going pretty straight, but the track was wobblier. Missed it just left, but stopped Audi could see it. Saw Dave Pruden there. | ||||||
11. | Straight. Not fast, but no problem. | ||||||
12. | Straight. Saw flag before cliff | ||||||
13. | +00:30 | Stopped to look at an apparently unmapped reentrant on the way, but realized I needed to getup to the clearing. | |||||
14. | |||||||
