Been doing The Subway for years. This time:
We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 6:50 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=4, views=4
Already planning the next one.
