At the east surface pass, Niri Flint puts pass slips, weather readings and the gate opening board beside the outside cloud mark can change after the lower gate is checked. The detail is easy to miss in a summary, but it determines whether a posted rule describes the place people actually use.

Niri Flint is the surface access correspondent. On this deep rest visit, the work begins with a dated entry and ends with a second check from someone who did not make the first one.

The pass slips, weather readings and the gate opening board lists 54 open hours with a posted weather reading; the previous window lists 52. Tikka Reed checked both against walk-through notes from every branch paired with the posted passage map. The number is one part of a larger handoff between the office, the people who use the service and the staff expected to maintain it.

The gate crew posts conditions at entry. Travelers ask for an update before committing to the upper climb. Residents and workers have asked the clerk to keep their accounts beside the source count rather than turn them into a single average.

The clerk attaches the current passage map and the last change card. The Year second, deep rest window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The pass office will add a second notice at the halfway shelter.
