Comments
Small pocket touched off by traversing 10' too far off a minor subridge. Just steep enough to run about 50'. Reminder of importance of micro route finding in complex terrain. But really, shouldn't have been in that area on that day. [dated info at this point, but perhaps useful for recordkeeping]
