Current thinking on where to leave backpacks for HD Hike?
Posted: Tue Jul 25, 2017 11:26 am
Hello.
As you may know from another thread, my wife and I will be backpacking for 5 days, ending with HD on the last day.
We plan to camp above the JMX x CR junction the night before HD and exit via Happy Isles.
I'm curious on the current thinking for where to leave our large bags. I thought I read that leaving them unattended is a bad idea, but obviously don't want to trek up the cables with them. We could leave them at the campsite and break camp when we're done, but that seems like a lot of backtracking. I figure we'll use a small backpack for the climb itself.
Best practices for this?
Thank you!
David
