The Subway terrain assessment.
We went Left Fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 5:10 AM. Wind stayed light, which made the river sections easier to handle. Route finding was straightforward if we stayed on cairns and creek turns.
Ratings: 5 overall, 4 difficulty, 4 scenery.
Trust your prep.
