The Subway prep notes: We went Left Fork approach w/ a quick weather check at dawn starting at 5:35 AM. Cool morning air helped us move fast before the canyon warmed up. Rock steps were stable, w/ a few muddy pockets by the creek. Key considerations: Bring the rain layer even if clear. Hope this helps.
