I have not been backpacking in the sierras for over 20 years so I have a
few questions. I would appreciate any help. We would like to spend a week
in the Mt. Goddard region in the last week of June. We will enter from the
east side (Sabrina or North Lake?).
1. Will I need to have an ice axe to cross large and steep portions of snow?
2. Should I carry a rope?
3. Is there bear trouble in that part? If so, what is the best way to
avoid feeding them? Has anyone had experience with homemade PVC bear-proof
food containers?
4. Will mosquitos be a problem? I was planning on taking only a tarp for
shelter to save weight.
5. Will the high passes be passable at that time of year (Echo col,
Keyhole, etc.)?
Thanks for your help.
