| JUST BACK FROM MT COUGAL BORDER WALK.THE TRACK SEEMS TO HAVE IMPROVED FROM SEVERAL YEARS AGO SO I FOLLOWED MY NOSE UP TO WESTERN SUMMIT THIS TIME.REGARDING THE EASTERN AND WESTERN PEAK APPROACHES,THE EASTERN SUMMIT IS STEEP AND STRAIGHT FORWARD [NOT EASY]HOWEVER THE FOLLOWING WESTERN SUMMIT PRESENTS A COUPLE OF GENUINE CLIMBING SECTIONS WHERE THERE IS NO ASSISTANCE.WOULD NEVER GO UP THERE IF IT WAS WET AND ALSO COMBING BACK DOWN IS JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE, BE CAREFUL OF LOSING THE TRACK ON THE RETURN,IT SEEMS PEOPLE ON THE CLIMB HAVE MARKED UP MANY PATHS THROUGH THE GIANT LILIES .THE HIKE TAKES TIME EG.6 HRS MINIMUM FOR RETURN WALK TO GARDEN OF EDEN GATE UNLESS YOU WANT TO SPRINT UP AND BACK..THE TRACK IS MARKED WITH TAPE/RIBBONS INTERMITTENTLY IN DIFFICULT SECTIONS ...WHAT I FIND CHALLENGING IS THAT THE BORDER TRACK CONTINUES ON FROM WESTERN COUGAL SUMMIT WESTERLY TOWARDS SPRINGBROOK...ANYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS TRACK? | ||||
