Re: Nice pic

Thanks, Dean. This hike was a lot of fun (once we got past the leg-thrashing brush). I would be very interested in going back sometime.

all season route possible

South Guardian can be approached without having to cross the subway, get wet, or negotiate class four terrain by a long route around greatheart mesa. It is a passable route anytime except when there is snow on the slickrock. Go nearly to the drop in point for the Right Fork of North creek slot and head west. A truly gonzo hiker might with incredible effort hike this route in a day on the summer solstice, but I wouldn't evny him/her. My estimate is 7-10 hours one way.

Re: all season route possible

Very interesting. Would you be willing to put up a route page?
