thinking out loud

[Wandering Daisy]

I am on a long excursion from looking at PM's. If you have anything to ask me just ask on the regular forum and I will answer. I look at all forums- so if a equipment question, put it there, if a non-Sierra question, put it there, etc.

wandering daisy, I totally agree. I am not too worried about starting out on the SHR right off the bat. I would rather do those off trail portions with a full pack than ascend Cartridge creek. I will heed your advice though and map out the elevation changes though and see if that influences my decision
