Regardless of your "exact" final position, you were very close to Iceberg Lake. By my measurement from the pool to Iceberg Lake was only 600 meters. You just have to go back:-)
John, I went back yesterday and we found our way to Iceberg Lake. My plan was to gain confidence getting there and return for an overnight summit hike as Steve suggested. After yesterday's hike some in my group have opted out of a return trip. I don't think I want to carry an overnight pack up there again ( my wife and I did that on the trip described earlier in this post). Maybe we're just too old and worn out. I do have a 6 day hiking trip to Mammoth Lakes coming up and permits to backpack rim to rim in the Grand Canyon in October. PS - We had trouble route finding getting up to Iceberg Lake from the last seep both going up and down.
