Green rock along the trail. This indicates that chlorite or nontronite minerals (mostly forms of iron) are mixed in with the other rocks.
Another rock wall that requires a little bit of scrambling. If you have poles, you either have to put them in your pack or throw them up so you can make the scramble.
