Well good at least I know I shouldn't have any problems getting around there.

My plan originally for getting to Three Island Lake was to traverse all the way up West Pinnacles Creek to the Western flanks of Gemini but maybe it would be better to just head past Upper Turret Lakes and cross the past NE from Mt. Senger.

From where it leaves off I will try to figure out what is the best way to go through the Red Mountain and Black Cap Basins. It's a complex area and i'm not sure what is best to do there with the time frame. Due to the resupply issues that we talked about before I may make some route South through it all and then into Tehipite Valley and then up the Middle Fork on some route to South Lake.
Travel through Red Mountain Basin, Bench Valley, and Blackcap Basin is not difficult or all that complex. It's so easy, even my dog wrote one of the trip reports at the following links. She didn't take any of the photos, however.
