Quick report
Students did a great job managing terrain with the persistent problem. Despite observing previous tracks on a steeper entrance (>35° slope) off the ridge, they opted against it due to exposed rocks and the potential for shallow trigger points. Instead, they selected a more uniform, planar entrance with a short section of terrain in the low 30° range.
