| 1. | trail, flat contour across swamp and up re | ||||||
| 2. | slight right, up slope and past obvious rocks to spur end | ||||||
| 3. | +00:25 | too much south of line, trail at swamp then west, but no sight of wall, more south again to wall then OK. clues fell out of holder and retrieved by steve. shoved them in my pocket. | |||||
| 4. | right, left and up across base of swamp | ||||||
| 5. | straight then over to wall at spur, south of knoll and across trail and up, | ||||||
| 6. | missed nearest trail and discovered new trail, watched compass across swamp, west side to roccky knoll and up along wall, over new trail and mapped trail to wall corner | ||||||
| 7. | straight | ||||||
| 8. | attempted straight but ended up right at wall junction east of trail, cut across to next wall and over knoll | ||||||
| 9. | up to trail and along to large cliff on left, climbed to back of cliff and had to go further than mapped. | ||||||
| 10. | +00:25 | dropped to trail and ran to reentrant, up re easily to trail, triail bend and then weird. more terrain between end of trail and flag, cliff was on right, expected it closer | |||||
| 11. | straight thru ponds up knoll and into depr | ||||||
| 12. | slightly left to big re and then across ridge to flats, image in head fits terrain nicely | ||||||
| 13. | too much right to swamp, too much left to knolls, easy in to flag | ||||||
| 14. | compass west hard through rocky stuff, unsure of where I am till run past 11, continue rough compass over hill past cairn and trail, down through green but running is good, compass more south and hit stream at wall end, 200 meters compass up to hilltop | ||||||
| 15. | +00:15 | trail but exited too early | |||||
| 16. | straight more or less - trail right, trail left, flat area below cliff and saddle east of knoll, bag visible from 70 meters | ||||||
| 17. | trail, thru pond, re (been here already) to saddle by trail, up over hill | ||||||
| 18. | banged my knee midway. extremely painful at the time, spent some time on the ground and then forced myself to get up and move - walking mostly. not until I was done did I finally feeel ok to run. | ||||||
| 19. | +00:30 | not thinking clearly now, just trying to get to the finish. rough compass was off, hit the main trail and headed left, confused it with the other trail and turned around, checked compass and turned around again. | |||||
