The alarm went off at 6:25 AM and I was already awake. We took Out-and-back through Left Fork from Wildcat Canyon side with group of 5. Started around 6:25 AM when cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. The trail route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns. Water was running and cold, so we packed extra socks for the exit. TLDR: Gaiters for scree. Some trips stay with you.
