Hah, thanks Steve.
I ask because I WILL be descending to Whitney Portal. Several days into the back country I'll be craving beer and fries... and more beer. But I'll also be able to ship stuff down into LP and not have to carry umpteen days worth of stuff across the range.
Krishna, I like the idea of a different return route. Perhaps a CC route somewhere.... I was actually thinking about cutting over Pants Pass. It would be shorter than Colby Pass no?
