SteveC: always travel safe; just curious whether I could get by with microspikes. Consensus seems to be no.
KevinR: Going to attempt the Shortys Well traverse again. It leaves from the valley proper, and heads up Havanaupaugh (sp) Canyon to the summit. Got 3/4 of the way up last year before a storm rolled in and started dumping snow on us. Conditions look good this year weather wise; but we'll see how we do once we clear the 8K mark. Also, you're right on some of those photos, yes.
