I enjoyed your trip report and writing style! Kudos on finding a suitable hang site and sticking with it. Impressed, too, that you went with a no-cook camp. Boy, I likes my coffee and hot fixin's too much!

I always feel for people with overburdened packs...I used to be one. On my first multiday trip to Colrado some 15 years ago I found my 130 lb frame humping a 60 pound pack for four days.
