    I did it at the beginning of April in colder weather (50s and 60s). The wetsuits were much appreciated. But yeah, that hike out has got to be brutal in the heat. If you are cold going through the...

    I went through mystery earlier in April and, although I put a wetsuit on before the mystery springs rappel, I believe the wetsuit was entirely unnecessary. The only cold part was in the narrows, and...

    The water was pretty dirty, but it wasn't that foamy, and I didn't notice any thick puree.

    As for helmets: yes, a couple of us had helmets. Others did not, because our group leader forgot them. We decided that instead of canceling, we would...

    Well when we reached a cliff band above the meadows, we had to abort. It was just too slippery to continue. As we drove away, we noticed that the peak got some snow over the night. Crazy.

    Thanks DOSS. I'd appreciate other opinions as well.

    Also, what is the water situation on the trail? I know there is a river crossing down lower. What about near the top? Last year I did Lone Peak...

    Thanks for the tip on the bag. I am contemplating my next move. I was pretty cold - I doubt a liner would fix it for me. I will take a look at the Kelty bag.

    Has anyone been up over Rocky Sea Pass out to Lightening Lake and Ouray Lake? I am taking a group of scouts there the second week of August, and I'm hoping the snow will be gone by then.
