Re: Requesting Beta on Gardiner Pass East
I wonder what makes a pass change so much. I went over the pass 3 times in the 90s and it was just plain easy. From the pass I went up once and down twice on Charlotte creek and that was a little bit difficult.

Re: Requesting Beta on Gardiner Pass East
I went over this pass, west to east, on July 30. Made for a fun little high route through the basin: Gardiner Pass, Gardiner Pass East, 60 Lakes Col. It's an unproblematic Class 2. One minor thing to be aware of: the approach on the west seemed easiest on the north side of the pass, but the only way down on the east was on the south side of the pass. Fortunately, the ridge itself can easily be traversed.

Thanks for the beta zberstein, and welcome to HST!

I don't give out specific route information, my belief is that it takes away from the whole adventure spirit of a trip, if you need every inch planned out, you'll have to get that from someone else.
