They said the talus fields were slippery and really dangerous and had to turn back.

Wet granite rocks are bad news ......

I concur...these were taken maybe 25 to 30 minutes apart from each other. Little did we know how big and how many boulders we'd have to descend through after coming over Cube Rock Pass when quite the little thunderstorm erupted on us. We were racing to get down to treeline only to have the storm calm down for us right as we neared the end of the rocks just shy of treeline.

Story time with Bob should be a pinned thread here on this forum. Or really an appreciation thread for all the work those like Bob put in to explore those off trail routes so those of us visiting from a far can have the same experience.

Couldn't have said it better. Already have a large number bookmarked!
