Went minimal on The Subway here is what made the cut.
We went Left Fork trailhead to the lower Subway section starting at 4:45 AM cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Footing was solid on the dry benches and a little slick near water lines.
Gear that worked: Sun hoodie, Lighter.
A dry bag and warm layer were worth carrying even on a short day.
Quick scores: overall=5, difficulty=4, views=5
Still thinking about this one.
