This is the fun itself. Yeah I know. I have one 100% taker on this trip (HS of course) I need to send in for the permit by March 1st. Again we will not be climbing this face of Dragontail. This is for harty souls of considerable experience. Asgard Pass to the Enchantments is our ugly route. Other than a lot of sweating and grunting, and possible skinned knees and profanity, we should do just fine. Due to the steepness of this section I really want us to get into good shape and not worry about carrying the kitchen sink. It will be about like the last bit on South Sister. Once we get to the top of the pass we will be in The Enchanetments, about as alpine as it gets.
Mountain Goats like salt so if we take a leak we are not supposed to pee on a bush since the goats will paw them up to get at the salt. They are also pretty tame and will be around.
Bears are also in the area. The main problem with them is that they will eat our food. So we need to keep it up in a tree (15 feet up 5 feet out. We should also cook away from where we sleep.
I tried these on yesterday at REI and they were mighty comfy.
