It was a tough day. Didn't get enough sleep, other stress. The weather was also of concern. I forgot how tedious the scree going upto Lawson is. The ridge travel was pretty good. Sometimes one uses the trails as a bypass, other times the obstacles are takled are head-on. Some solid downclimbs. Scrambled up a slabby section that was not so solid, and if I biffed I could have slid down a long ways. Found a better way down.
