Aiming to go for Isolation this weekend via ascent up Glen Boulder all the way up to Boot Spur, then descend Davis Path over to bag Isolation before descending down Rocky Branch with a car spot.

Question is, Am I a moron for wanting to descend Rocky Branch in Spring? And will the trail still be monorailed?

For context I’ll be hiking with two companions who are new to hiking the Whites and are comfortable up to 4k vert. They’re aware this will push their vert limits and fine with that. They’ve climbed Flume via the slide, Lincoln and Lafayette in one go, Garfield, and Whiteface/Pway via the Blueberry Ledge. Pic from Franconia Ridge for attention
