The subway on limited time.
We went out-and-back through left fork from wildcat canyon side starting at 5:10 am. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Rock steps were stable, w/ a few muddy pockets by the creek.
Short version: phone battery backup.
The kind of day that resets perspective.
