13:21 we hiked down a different route than we took up - we contoured below nw ridge of Nankoweap Butte back towards Nankoweap Canyon then climbed down - this was clambering but nothing too tough (the way we went up was probably somewhat worse than this route down)
13:43 large basalt blocks - we did hike on/touch all layers of the Supergroup on this rivertrip (first time in one trip for me)
