Shirley resting in an opening in the thick growth we encountered on the descent. INCREDIBLE bushwhack!! Imagine a thick growth of about 15 feet in height covering up a boulder field (c. 12 foot boulders). The leaves and branches in your face; the entangled roots and boulder drop offs at your feet......and darkness. This was by far the most exciting part of the climb - see my summit log as to how to avoid - or find - this adventure. Great stuff (Sept. 20, 2003).
