A fun trip I would say, originally I was supposed to go with a college friend
and his girlfriend but his girlfriend got sick 30 mins into the trip. This posed
a problem in that it limited my available time (put me 2:30 behind schedule).
This ultimately meant that I could not include Mt Garfield in my traverse. I did
however hit (in order) Flume, Liberty, Lincoln, and Lafayette (Lots of Ls!). The
whole vertical was a bit over 5500' took 8:15 total, not sure how many miles
(was over 10). It was very hot that day and 80+% of the people I encountered
were French Canadian! FLUME SLIDE TRAIL WAS VERY STEEP AND SLIPPERY! avoid this
trail unless you are very adverturous!
