Peter, The orange paint marks you made on June 19th made following the Tikaboo trail much easier than it would have been without them, on June 30th. It was my first time up Tikaboo, and I used only moonlight and a small LED flashlight. The plastic tags on trees above the saddle were also easy to use. Whoever put those up (a long time ago?) is a genius, especially if there is any snow on the ground. The only place I lost the trail for more than a minute was above the steepest part, where I apparently missed a major right turn. I eventually corrected into the right direction at a higher spot, and picked up the trail again not long after making the ridge. JB737
