I saw you did the Evolution traverse with the same partner. Any comments on the Minarets vs Evolution? Was one more fun than the other, or have better rock?
Evolution is longer milage wise but eases off towards the end. The Minaret is shorter milage wise but there is more climbing and technical route finding I would say. Minaret's took us half a day longer. The type of rock is different, but they are both pretty solid. There's still some choss though. I don't think we encountered anything harder than 5.7 or 8 on either. Have fun.
