Logistics breakdown for The Subway:
We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 6:00 AM. Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines.
Quick scores: overall=4, difficulty=3, views=5
TLDR: Gaiters for scree.
Plan accordingly.
Quick notes:
- Gaiters for scree.
- Check weather the morning of.
- Extra socks change everything.
- Know where water is.
