The subway fkt attempt? Not quite, but moved well.
We went left fork approach with a quick weather check at dawn starting at 6:50 am. Cloud cover held until late morning and kept the slickrock from baking. Rock steps were stable, with a few muddy pockets by the creek.
The boring prep stuff matters...
