Once past the rock face, the trail turns into a tight ledge crawl with a few small boulders thrown in for good measure.

Some of the group left to run a section of "Upper Presidents Choice", our group decided to head over to the Desert Bar.  Yes, I said bar, powered by the sun, complete with live music.  We all had a drink, a few people order hamburgers and we watched the clods building up.  We eventually made our way back to camp and gorged ourselves on tacos with all the fixings.  Afterwards, between rain showers, we listened to some live music and a few of our group won some raffle prizes.  Afterwards most of us hit the sack early, tomorrows trail was President's Choice.
