Scott, thanks for your thoughts! We’re definitely interested in being able to cut the hike short if need be, so your advice is really helpful. Thanks for sharing!

@Scott Conro :Regarding the HC loop plans, one way I look at that loop is risk of weather or fatigue. It’s the same amount of vertical gain either way. The way you’ve discussed has you on the ridge later in the day compared to the other direction, with no bail out and tricky footwork to manage while likely more fatigued. Personally, I’d rather be struggling with late-hike energy levels and footwork down in the trees rather than on the ridge with tricky rocks to navigate and without a bailout. Happy hiking!
