I am new to the site and have a few questions about the Mountaineers Route. My climbing buddy and I drew a permit for Aug.
Q1: Which is a better option for this route, tarp or free standing tent? I have read where the stakes don't work all that well with the terrain. I prefer going lite.
Q2: NPS said bear containers are not a requirement on the MR yet I have read where it is. ???
more to come.....
Thanks In advance,
B-Dub
