It was a clear, breezy, cool day. Long ascents to Fuller Ridge. I felt the altitude on the first climb. Trail dropped and climbed back up 1300 feet. Then had to walk a half mile son a side trail to Apache Springs for water. 500 feet down, then 500 feet back up in each half mile.
I crossed an area with steep snow chutes, but did not need the ice axe or crampons. I only saw two SOBO (south bound) section hikers today. Camped with tent perched on a bluff above Palm Springs .
