Beautiful day on Lindsey. Summer conditions the whole way. Took the ridge up, and everybody else I saw on the trail was doing the same. I opted to take the brief class four line up the crux just left of the crack and never felt too exposed. Good, stable, grippy rock. Wearing a helmet was a good idea since people were knocking rocks down the ridge left and right. No issues with the river crossing, was able to make it across using a small log jam despite losing part of one of my trekking poles somewhere on the ridge. Speaking of which, if you find the bottom half of a trekking pole somewhere along the ridge, please reach out to me!

Wish I'd used the logs, too

I mean, that was not my first time hiking with wet socks, and I doubt it'll be my last, but using the logs would've been a WAY better option!
