Figured I would take a stab at lowering the FKT. Heading up to Morgan Hill when hitting the lean-to section the new trail follows behind the lean-to. It is less distance and less climb so after talking to Brian (who made this FKT route) we decided to stick to the right of the lean-to on the original trail. I really think this section is what really adds to the difficulty of this route having one of the toughest climbs after dropping back to the creek bed and really adds more character. So if you are going to give this route a try make sure you stick right at the lean-to and drop back into the creek and start climbing back up. You will follow two trees with black marks on them and take the trail up to morgan hill. This is for sure a tough route with not much rest of the legs! Hope to see it keep dropping. Good luck!
