I just freed the os - not bragging I know this is done daily - but this has caught my attention for something to do next summer.

Just coming down the OS from the Grand, I ended up pretty much keeping pace/waiting for slower parties that knew which way to go. Like you said, so many little mistakes, and you have to not let them get out of hand and not let them bring you down. <br /><br />How many of the sections had you done before? It seems like doing a few of them individually beforehand would make an enormous difference - it wouldn't be cheating, but it would lose the "onsight" aspect of routefinding...Colin Simonnoreply@blogger.com
