Report

Started at 7:09am with 2 bottles and a filter, which I filled once on the downhill. Tried doing it without the gps downloaded. Debated finishing the loop while on Castle Peak because the couloir looked pretty steep and gnarly. Decided to go for it. Last minute decision to attempt the FKT. Spent too much time up top. Tagged the point marked as Conundrum Peak on my Garmin watch which seems to vary depending on which maps you use. Glissaded down off the traverse. Started at campsite 1 and realized when I had service up top that the FKT started at the pavement so I added on, completing the full out and back.
