Salty's SPOT shows he cleared Pinchot Pass this morning, and now he's on a long 5-mile descent, dropping 3600' elevation, to the Woods Creek bridge.
Pinchot is at 12,100', Woods Creek crossing is 8500'.
Here's a photographer's view of the bridge: aka the "Golden Gate of the John Muir Trail".

Here's my video crossing, from 6/29/08
