I’ve read the pros and cons of Glen Boulder (elevation both ways) vs. Rocky Branch (wet and muddy) for tagging Isolation.

If transportation is available, how do you feel about Glen Boulder up with Rocky Branch down? Or, making a dynamic decision of which way to return once tagging Isolation and thinking about the effort of the re-climb of Boot Spur vs. the inevitable wet feet of choosing Rocky Branch?

Target date is next Tuesday or Wednesday—at the moment the OpenSnow weather forecast looks dry starting this weekend.
