After a year in the Salida area I finally rode the Crest. I was solo and didn’t have a shuttle so I did an out and back from Monarch to Marshall. I’ll ride it many more times I’m sure living less than an hour from Monarch Pass and hit the descents from the crest. I have the full TR and pics at the link below
