Outstanding, Hobbes. Thanks! I'll tag Langley
IF I feel strong enough. How far up I carry my full pack is part of the equation. I certainly don't mind descending scree like that. (Note to self: take lightweight scree gaiters.) ...now ascending is another story -- you should see the west side of Pants Pass.
If I am really onto it, in my mind the optimum route to put me farthest ahead would be descending to Rock Creek (and on to Sky Blue) via the slope north of Major General.
...or I could drop down to upper Soldier, but that ridge is only slightly lower than the Major General plateau.
