Kind of unknown at this time, we're going out some pretty steep rough terrain. I feel like we're almost at the top. Maybe top or three can shine in with a reference point for us.

01:12
Yeah, Matt, we were just looking at you guys, looks like you're getting into really, really steep terrain. I would have guessed that a pathway more off to your right or to the south might have got you around those rocks up to the trail top.
01:25
I don't see a clear path where you guys up towards the top, but you've got a better view of the scope or that angle there. You are very close to the top, but I don't want you guys getting in over your head going up really, really steep terrain.

The other trail that we were on,
