Now that I have a better handle on mileage and elevation gain, I thinking something like 5 hrs to Iceberg Lake w/ full backpack on day 1. Then, on summit day, 2+ hrs to summit, another 2 to Muir and back, 2 hrs descent to Iceberg Lake, rest and pack up camp and return to TH. Maybe 12 hrs max for summit day, so I should comfortably get back before dark, as long as I get started early enough in the a.m.
So ... now I wondering if it's better to camp at UBSL? Slightly lower elevation makes for more comfortable sleep and it looks to be more sheltered from the elements. Also, that's 1,000 ft. less climbing with a full backpack. Any opinions or favorite spots to camp along the MR?
