I think you might have your lakes mixed when you say Italy Lake. That is very far North from Pants Pass in the Mono Divide area.
They probably went to the Kaweah Gap area based on what I told them but not Pants. I did Pants for the first time this year. It's a loose one for sure. Twice I had the whole hill side go on me and I had to run across the slope to get out of the way of the slide.
I honestly don't know how I will write this report this year but it certainly will be in parts.
