Thanks again Steve. I had hoped the permits for NF started above LBSL; oh well. I'll set up a week in Aug and try for walk-ins. Worse case day hike up to LBSL, so I can appreciate the Ledges before my trip up the MR in Sept.
Just to make sure I understand what I've been reading- I have an overnight on the NF of the Pine (JM34)in Sept. I can summit via the MR; and return JM34 -on just that permit?
