Norman - Great trip report and a pleasure to meet and climb with you. Our party of 3 started back from Terror Basin at 530pm and had to use headlamps around 830pm with about 500vf left of the steep trail. We got back to our car at 1120pm with only minor route finding issues (maybe cost us 10-20 minutes total) in the dark. All route finding difficulties were at the major washouts along the old road.
Eric:
Glad to hear it went ok for you guys. We talked about your trip out and how exhausting it must have been. Darkness can really make trails hard to find. Good climbing with you too. Have a good Fall.
