Salty:
All your posts and gentle hints are very valuable to me and helped me on this hike. You did warn about the 2000ft climb over 2 miles at the end of the day on second day. So I took it very leisurely and slowly made my way up. So knowing ahead did really help me in pacing. Once I was at the Precipice lake, I was just dumb struck at the immense beauty of the place! No photo would justify the actual locale! It takes all the struggle and weariness out of you once you are there!
Thanks again!
