| 6. | 124m | 1:59 | 1 | 0% | 15:59 | 2011m | 21:39 | 1 | 0% | 10:45 | Van was slightly back until here... | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7. | 479m | 5:12 | 1 | 0% | 10:51 | 2490m | 26:51 | 1 | 0% | 10:46 | ... but I did not hear him on this leg. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 8. | 282m | 6:13 | 1 | 0% | 3:25 | 22:02 | 2772m | 33:04 | 1 | 0% | 11:55 | After I crossed the road, I got stuck in the mismapped green (trying to find the gap was a losing proposition). Got back into the white and missed to the S, finding another perfect redwood circle. As I recovered, Van came. The better route (taken by Bruce) was S of the green. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 9. | 434m | 5:30 | 1 | 0% | 25 | 12:40 | 3206m | 38:34 | 1 | 0% | 12:01 | Went lower than needed, grazing the second-green in the process. Had to climb steeply up at the end. Van kept up, on the better route. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 10. | 281m | 6:36 | 1 | 0% | 4:20 | 23:29 | 3487m | 45:10 | 1 | 0% | 12:57 | Van suddenly started to pull away?!.. I went a little too far left, and by the time I crossed all the reentrants, I could not see him. I misread the reentrants by one and spent time searching too low. Finally relocated once I saw the park road at a distance. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 11. | 231m | 4:24 | 1 | 0% | 3:05 | 19:02 | 3718m | 49:34 | 1 | 0% | 13:19 | Could not understand anything among the mapped depressions, even though I had a good attack point (however acquired after some confusion), a U in the green. Relocated once I saw the park road. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 12. | 413m | 5:00 | 1 | 0% | 12:06 | 4131m | 54:34 | 1 | 0% | 13:12 | Went through all the green. Nailed it. Van was there. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 13. | 225m | 2:39 | 1 | 0% | 11:46 | 4356m | 57:13 | 1 | 0% | 13:08 | Chased Van. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 14. | 499m | 7:32 | 1 | 0% | 2:00 | 15:05 | 4855m | 1:04:45 | 1 | 0% | 13:20 | Went high and approached from near the clearing, but could not identify the tree among other trees just like it. I was too far N, though. Relocated from the trail-stream junction to the SE. Van went straight, an inferior route, and got there just as I was done. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 15. | 291m | 4:29 | 1 | 0% | 1:30 | 15:24 | 5146m | 1:09:14 | 1 | 0% | 13:27 | Went low. It was a very steep, green climb up to it. A whole 1'30 lost to the best split?!.. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 16. | 337m | 10:05 | 1 | 0% | 5:20 | 29:55 | 5483m | 1:19:19 | 1 | 0% | 14:27 | Went straight (after Van, who pulled away again?!..). In 1998, this leg went to the same X, but from around #14, so the high route was a no-brainer. Crossed the main stream and ended up on a very steep slope; the map showed a flatter part between the stream and the steep slope. Ended up slowly searching up the steep slope. Saw bikers on the park road, came back. As I was going down, I saw that the gradual slope was indeed there, just not starting as low as where I originally crossed the stream. I had been looking at this flatter slope and thinking it was on the other side of the stream. If I had gone on the road, I would have easily found it, just like in 1998. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17. | 276m | 4:49 | 1 | 0% | 1:10 | 17:27 | 5759m | 1:24:08 | 1 | 0% | 14:36 | Climbed the spur; there was no ridgeline (one was mapped), the slope just went on. I checked stuff out further along across the imaginary ridgeline, then came back—the ridgeline appeared lower on the spur. Found Van again! After all the wonderings! | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 18. | 495m | 8:26 | 1 | 0% | 25 | 17:02 | 6254m | 1:32:34 | 1 | 0% | 14:48 | Stayed on the trail too long (too far S), crossed the S stream; had to come back N. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 19. | 176m | 2:57 | 1 | 0% | 16:45 | 6430m | 1:35:31 | 1 | 0% | 14:51 | Pretty frustrated, so was slow. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| 20. | 107m | 29 | 1 | 0% | 4:31 | 6537m | 1:36:00 | 1 | 0% | 14:41 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
