[pct-l] call for itineraries through lake strewn wilderness for a post-frost fall backpack

[calliger@infolane.com (R.J.Calliger)]

I forgot about this area Tom- ...I agree it is close to being the best-- A
side trip
up to Cloudripper will get you into a beautiful lake with NO bears-
they hang around the Basin...

Mt Sill is a *tough* walk-up-- ie, Class 2, but doable easily if you
take an extra day. The views are *VERY* much worth the climb.
See Secor, if you don't have that guidebook- his is the best (well-
just becasue my name is in it doesn't mean a thing!!)...
