@Sredfield
There was one section of trail that was washed out and I had to navigate some boulders/rocks that was a little skectchy near the 2.5 mile mark or so, but not too bad. I'll also say that since I usually am solo, I'm extra cautious with anything remotely sketchy so I assign it higher points of sketchiness than most would probably (yes, I used forms of sketch way too often in those sentences. Deal).

I'm really bad with guestimating distances so that part could've been anywhere from the 1.75-2.5 mile mark if I had to estimate. I'd never been on the trail before so I don't know what it was like previously but that area now is a pile of rocks of various sizes about 15? feet wide or so that have slid down. A lot of it are smaller slate like little slabs that are still very mobile which is the only reason I said it was a little sketchy; even being careful with my footing and trekking poles, I slid both going up and down and it's at a spot that if you slide too far, it's not going to be healthy.
