See, to me that looks awesome. I'd get up there in a heartbeat because I love that kind of stuff and I have some experience doing it. But yeah, with people who have limited to no experience, it's more likely we'd stay low in Cottonwood Lakes and just enjoy the scenery. And, if there's too much snow in June for even that location--and we're looking at Winter backpacking--then I'll reschedule and hit Tehipite or something a little lower.
The mountains aren't going anywhere.
