I blew 10 as well, not even sure exactly how, everything looked great until it was not where I thought it would be, I think veered a bit to the right on the final approach, then checked every depression around it, finally saw Pat who said that it should be right here, at which point I decided to go to the water stop and attack it from there. Sure enough, found it right away. Got so dispirited that after 11 went to 12 straight which was a hopeless endeavor, the proper route was to go on the trail on the left.

I ended up rerunning 10 a week later, and so did dersu. We agree that unless you're one of the world's best mapreaders the fastest way is to run hard past the control to the road to the north, then attack from there. Not very elegant, eh?
