….AN EXPLANATION OF CAPTION EDIT REVISIONS FOR THE NEXT FOUR PHOTOS.
….As originally posted (2003 to 2010), this Album’s Photos & Captions were planned around the original trail conclusion that the "N+C Hypothetical Climb Trail" should have 11 separate photos & captions, one for each WayPt = N+C 14 thru 24.
…However, further study revealed, that the ZMM Narrative fits into 3 photos.
……Of course this new conclusion, calls for revisions in the specified WayPt N+C##’s => Thus it was it was decided Re--Define the following WayPt Series => N+C 14, N+C 15 with field study to determine a good route to N+C 23, N+C 24.
