Anyone want to join? May bail if lower stretch of ACH doesn't open on the 3rd.

One nice option is to make it into a loop trip. There's a little parking lot around "A". Doing the loop counter clock wise would take you in alphabetical order to "F" where you could do the side trip to the summit of Waterman ("G"). From there head down to ACH, follow ACH to Cloudburst Summit, and then follow the PCT back to your car. Pretty mellow hike as I recall.

Love to join you, but I've got to find a place to live. Sigh.

First things first HJ...get ya a nice place for sure. Hiking can wait.

Looking at your map, I'm planning on going from B directly to G along the ridge line. Either return the same way, go down to ACH as you mentioned or come back on the trail (G-F-E-D-C-B-A). If I feel strong I'll look at Kratka or Twin Peaks.

That sounds like fun. I may be going out that way tomorrow too, may be interested. Keep me in the loop if you don't mind. ACH is closed before Eagles Roost, though, for what its worth.

I plan on starting a little before 6am.

Dang, that B to G and then coming back via the trail is one I've thought about before. Please post a TR if you do that route.
