Thanks everyone... That bear thing had me worried... But if the likelihood is low, then I am ok with it. I know shit happens sometimes so I can't be oblivious to it.
I'll keep the AMS in mind and know I have to turn back if it starts hitting. I want to make it to the top but not while putting myself in danger.
That said. Where do people put their food. I keep reading or misreading about leaving the food outside your tent? So having it in a bear cannister inside the backpack which might be inside the tent is not a good idea because of the Marmots? (Staying at Trail Camp)
