Late start, late finish. The Subway in the evening light.
We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 5:10 AM cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns.
Light was best in the first two hours.
Still thinking about this one.
