Itinerary description

For first time in my life, I did not follow T3's fireline at all.
Instead I climbed via normal route uptill it's joint with T5.

Joint was riddled with a lot of ways going back to T3 and shortcuts. Finally I struck the correct route. Initially I thought I would end up somewhere near Big Rock on T5 but as the descent continued, I realized I was going to end at the water spring.

But real triumph was to directly reach T3 parking from T5. A path which is not used as much as it should have been.
