I appreciate the clarification, and am currently trying to make the correction to another space that I made a similar edit on. There is a section of South Mount Elbert that has been removed and set for re-vegetation, but is still visible. I'll look around later today to see about reverting that change. 

The only thing I can think of is that the short cut being discussed in this comment went in during winter, as sometimes snow routes and summer routes can differ due to the ground protection that happens.
