Hi All. We are looking at using a short segment of Allen's Overland to connect Horse Ck (near the jct with LDH) to The Gulch. We'd be going EAST TO WEST. Allen mentions a 4th class pitch dropping down into The Gulch (near 37.73404, -111.28951).
I've seen a couple of reports that climb UP through there (including one by John Morrow in 2018) and they make it sound reasonable. I'm curious if anyone has approached it from the east and tried to climb DOWN. If so, how difficult is it to locate? COORDINATES? How difficult is it to execute? Thoughts? Warnings?
We are experienced and generally comfortable on class 3 terrain.
THANKS!
