I could have made it back to Cerro Gordo but had no desire to drive down into the 95 degree heat, so camped nice and cool up here on the mining spurs above the pipe berm.

Yep, this is pretty bad, but it was the worse section and I punched through.

Here's the point where I turned back last time, on this flagstone death trap.

More debris along the way and just enough occasional evidence of travel keeps me going. I also met two Salt to Summit hikers since my last trek who confirmed they did it, so I am confident.

Now back at the pipeline berm, which is nearly invisible on this side. I had to guess where it was based on elevation, and soon found a section of pipe to confirm it. Now that I have trekking poles and less water weight (to accelerate a fall off a cliff) than when starting, I'm going to try it.
