First: To Steve C and all of the other experienced people on this forum and everyone that has posted I want to say thanks for all of the great information and advice.
Question: I love to hike, camp, and be outdoors and I really enjoy a good physical challenge but I do struggle with too much exposure and heights. My son and I hiked up to trail camp at the end of June 2016 but did not summit because there was still too much snow for me and our gear was only trail shoes and poles. We are going back next week.
My question is how much worse is the exposure on the 99 switchbacks and on the backside as compared to the hike up to trail camp?? There were a couple spots hiking up to trail camp after trail meadows that had exposure on the left side. I could tolerate that level of exposure but to be honest much worse than that and I start to get uncomfortable.
The you tube videos of the trail with the go pro cameras really distort the vertical look to the trail. Input from those who know the trail up from trail camp would be greatly appreciated...............thanks
