Interesting timing on your trip. With the heavy snow, and the fact that it sounds like the camp will be at Trail Camp, it sounds like snow may be a complicating factor. As a trail crew worker/leader, I draw the line at shoveling snow!
I note that they are still searching for a leader for the trip. I recall that I got qualified as a leader for AHS a year or so back. Hmmmmm. I did a trip with them a couple of years back in the Cottonwood Lakes basin. Very fun, although with mule support.
Tyrus, you should also consider BEING the leader for this trip. Even if I can't go, I will help you. Pays your fee.
I'm not aware of them using mules on the main trail. This would be a serious hump with all gear plus tools. Being acclimatized is a real good idea.
