Thankyou for the information. We will bring headlamps, Gore-Tex jackets and clothes thick enough I think. We are not used to meet bears in our forests and I understand we also need to bring bear-canisters and we should not leave food in our car. Does that also include a coke which could be nice to have in the car on our return ?
12 hours of daylight should be enough I think. Rise at 4-5 a.m. and then leave 6-7. The "97 switchbacks" should be made in daylight I suppose ?
Is it OK to leave tent and camping gear at Trail Camp to get a lighter backback on the ascent ?
I look forward to our "expedition" and hope to return to this forum closer to our journey.
