Advice re Beck Lakes - Shellenbarger Lake - Dike Creek
Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2012 12:43 pm
Has anyone done this before? Secor mentions going down Iron Creek after crossing Beck Lakes Pass, but it seems possible to go over the ridge to Shellenbarger Lake, down the outlet creek, and then down Dike Creek to the North Fork San Joaquin. Seems like a good, direct way up to Bench Canyon from Red's Meadow valley. Mainly just wondering about the difficulty of route finding, cliffs/wrinkles, etc. Time would probably be late July. I've attached an image of the route I had in mind. Any tips/info would be much appreciated. Cheers, all.
