Sub-10lb kit on The Subway.
We went Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side starting at 4:45 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.
Gear that worked: Compass, Paper map, Hiking boots.
Sticky shoes and quick-dry layers made the creek sections less annoying.
10/10 would recommend.
