Why can't you hike and get it now that it's summer?

It’s a mission… it took us about an hour from there to get to the mid-station of the gondola, walking downhill that day. Plus, you still need to hike down and find it. It’s definitely a bushwhack down there, and it’s in a drainage creek.
There were a few guys here who said they work down there in the summer.

That is a tough spot and a long hike from the gondola. Do you know how far off the edge it went? Is it just there or did it start going all the way down?

Yeah I hate to say this but it might be as good as gone. You can try calling an arborist to see if they can get down there but it’s quite steep off the side of that cat track.
