Cultural notes from the subway.
We went left fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn 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.
Ratings: 4 overall, 5 difficulty, 4 scenery.
Short version: know where water is.
The boring prep stuff matters.
