On the way back down Borrego Canyon, I get a good view of some rock igloos a bit like the ones I saw near Cave Spring yesterday

I go into high-speed mode climbing the rocks and am happy when I reach the final, less rocky, uphill stretch, which feels like a 45-degree angle at times. I can climb uphill quite well, as long as I don't look back and let vertigo set in.
