This view led me to make The Fateful Decision (to ascend THIS slope to reach
the mesa). Why? Because what I saw here erased---or at least strongly
tempered---the concerns I had about it. Specifically:
1. The gradient at lower right and in the middle looked good (not too steep).
2. The "grassy bench" (running from the base of the big shadow at right to the
base of the big shadow at upper left) was not badly exposed.
3. The wide upper grassy slope was free of obstructions (difficult to see in this picture).
Other views a bit later confirmed my feelings.
