yep, pick your poison
(1) carry all you need from MTR to the end. This works ok for fast people, or those who are slow but can carry more food.
(2) exit LeConte over Bishop Pass to South Lake. At my speed in 2013 that took 9 hrs, one way. Loaded, the other way took 10.
So figure 3 days, one to exit + get ride to Bishop, stay, shop, rest, return. If all goes well, and organized, it could be done in 2.
