Escape Routes/UpBehindDiningHall
From B.E.R.T. Wiki
Sept 3rd there were 2 group hikes from behind the GS camp's Mess Hall to the Butano Fire Road.
Don and Monique left at 9am, and via some route ( please edit ) made it to the top.
The 10am crew of Catherine, William, Mitchell and Casey met them as they were descending via a different route then they ascended.
The 10am crew reports that these are steep but well maintained trails. A fair amount of the ascent could be done in ATVs or stout vehicles.
The 10am crew conducted radio checks along the way ( Casey to back-fill the locations ) and eventually lost contact with colleagues in the Canyon. Switchnig over to Ham channels ( Butano UP / BU UP on your radios ) worked pretty well from the upper routes.
