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.
