Topo route really won't help. this is micro navigating and the key is hooking up with the correct ducks I described before.

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.

We gave you the exact starting point - (Old tungsten mine trail to Secret Lake) - route pictures - middle - good pictures of the top/ slot up to the sign...a warning which way not to go with pictures too...(BTW, it is maybe a 1/2 mile from Secret Lake to the sign.)
and you still seem confused as to what is "correct path."
How much Sierra have you done?
