Systematic review of the subway:
timeline:
- 5:10 am: started moving
- +1h: found our pace
- +5h: turnaround/destination
- conditions: cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. Rock steps were stable, with a few muddy pockets by the creek.
Overall 4/5. Difficulty 5/5. Scenery 4/5.
Take what is useful.
