Solo. 8/48. See Willey log for the beginning of the climb report. After I hit the summit of Willey I quickly picked my way over to Field. The trail was narrow with lots of things brushing me on the sides of the trail, kind of claustrophobic. Footing was tricky and rocky, along with lots of exposed roots, and still soaking wet. When I was about to hit the summit of this, Field, I heard voices. And more voices. And more voices. WTF? As soon as I got to the cairn about 30 folks were turning up, almost all of whom were loudly speaking French. Not wanting to join the weird group for any length of time as it was now crowded as hell, I quickly moved on (after noting there was again no damned view at the viewpoint). Mileage & gain on this log are just for Willey > Field. Full trip mileage will be found in the text of my Tom log. See continuation.
