Somewhat tough conditions with the lower ~2 miles being pretty brushy and trail eroding in places. I had never done Abernathy before, so past the lake, I wasn’t sure the best line up despite looking at a few gpx tracks prior. I ended up picking the wrong one and added likely close to 30 min to my time, with some class 3/4 scrambling and down climbing to get around a few blocks. Took the correct line back down to the lake. The downhill took me less than an hour from the lake despite the less than idea trail conditions. Refueled water in a creek several times but otherwise had everything with me I needed. Also a warm day, at ~90 degrees. Lovely lake and amazing views at the top!
