I'm thinking of taking the x-country route through Miter Basin and up over Discovery Pinnacle...does anyone have some specific info on the "slog" up over that ridge that leads to pinnacle?? I am researching this route to see if I really want to do it, but have found that the hikers that have gone that route, have indicated how slow going it is on that ridge...just north of upper Crabtree Lake. I'm going the last week of July this year...any and all info would be helpful. We will have a group of 10, with full packs.....I would think we can just go over Crabtree Pass and stay to the right ..and then create our own switchbacks..up and over....right??
