Our old man dropped us off at Chepeta Lake on the morning of July 24th. My pack weighed in at 38lbs. and my brother’s was 50lbs.
We started hiking at 9am and we had about 6 miles to go before we came to our first pass, North Pole Pass (12,243’). The elevation gain was pretty gradual until you get to the base of the pass and then it gains quickly.
