This ruin was easy to find, but hard to get to. Scrambled off trail through brush and up an enormous rock slide under a hot sun to get to the base of the cliff, then worked my way along to reach the ruin. The ruin was tucked into an alcove, and was built between 1312 and 1317, they say. Of 6 original rooms, 2 are mostly intact.

Later, I went looking for another ruin I suspected existed, but after an hour and a half, found only loose rock, rough terrain, torn flesh and dehydration. Next time, mountains, next time!
