Conditions played out exactly as forecast on White Rim.
We went Shafer start w/ a clockwise White Rim line starting at 6:50 AM. Dry air kept visibility sharp for most of the route. Most of the route was in stable shape w/ minor rough patches.
Quick scores: overall=4, difficulty=3, views=5
Plan accordingly.
Tips
- Backup headlamp batteries.
- Extra socks change everything.
