headed out to the wilderness campsite via west fork thursday. we bushwacked a lot of it and had quite a bit of fun. here's some pics and a TR, as promised in another thread on here.

Nice report. What was that string that was strung up in one of the photos? Was that one of the camp sites?

Don't suppose you've got the location of that photo plotted on a topo, do you?

thanks jim. I think that string was a clothesline?
I can't find the coord for that campsite but here's my fitness monitor map printout...maybe this helps?

Interesting page. The elevations can't be right though if that's for Echo/Inspiration/Muir. And the map doesn't show up; just the charts.

Just use the strap from Dave's "Ghetto Cam" to clip a length of garden hose to your climbing helmet. What could go wrong?
