And like everyone else, quite possibly too high. Staying lower in that area is the best, I think.

Frank, were the really skinny and tall cairns there this year? You WERE almost there, though. Maybe 15 minutes.


I did not see any tall and skinny cairns. I did see one in your video and also was aware that you warned about being too high on that section. I too could see a use trail down below me but we continued on our path as long as we still were on a "trail". I'm thinking I would have known if I did pass a seep and I think I could see the first up ahead of me. And I wasn't certain where I would be turning up towards the lake but it seemed far away. If I was close to Iceberg Lake that makes me feel a little better about my failed attempt to reach it.
