The "hardest" creek crossing on this route is indeed the one called Lower Rock Creek crossing, located in front of the bear box ~1/2 mile after the ranger cabin (this a popular campsite along the PCT).
By the end of the month, my guess is it will be a trivial wading (or even rock hopping). If needed - or just for fun - there are two large logs 200 yards upstream the official crossing.

There's a few other crossings along the way, but none of them requires you to wet your feet, except the Whitney creek crossing just before Crabtree Meadow. However, this one is shallow and the creek bed is sandy so crossing barefoot is just a nice refreshing break...

Have fun
PS : I didn't receive any "PM" (what's that anyway ?)
