    The reroute didn’t exist when we went. You can still do the trail now. We just wheeled in from the Utica side, took the trail to camp (near our last spot) then wheeled the trail back out Utica today.

    Some really cool shit
    So, we did go through that spot, or no? I remember some nasty shit, but that looks real nasty. Someone took a picture of me going up that last big ass boulder section at the end near Utica but don't have it handy. Thought I had a copy. I had 35's that trip. One and only time. Took them back the following week.

    Negative. We did not go thru the new reroute section. It opened after our trip.

    OK. That makes sense. That looked as nasty as Rubicon shit. Or worse.

    I realize maybe it's the fault of USPS, and maybe they didn't forward my mail to me in time, so I'll thank @Fernando for the invite... I'm sure it'll show up eventually.
