I have been to Lake 9797 and you really did not miss that much. The lakes below Finger Pass are much more scenic.
Great trip! I have been on most of your route, except never been over Hell-for-Sure Pass. How is the trail coming down? Is it easy to follow? In the past I have come up from Florence Lake. Going up the canyon I never have seen the trail junction to Hell-for-Sure. Maybe I just was not paying enough attention.
You got a taste of a lot of wonderful remote areas. I bet you will return to each for longer stays to enjoy each.

Thank you! The trail from Hell for Sure Pass is long
and you have to climb 400ft to get to the bottom of the canyon. I lost the trail few times but I was able to quickly find it again. It was disappointing to miss the waterfalls that I could see from above. I bet that the lower Goddard Canyon is beautiful.

Andrzej, what a fantastic trip report, though you left out the big fight with the Bear!
Your photos are also fantastic. We really enjoyed first meeting you, and now we get to enjoy your trip report. We wish you would put together a few more trip reports from among your other annual Sierra adventures. You will thus be helping to keep us entertained through the winter slow season.
Ian and Lizzie and Carleton.

Great trip report and photos! Nine days of food to carry is a lot of weight.
