Miles Hiked: 15<\/p>\n

Start Location: Mile 796<\/p>\n

End Location: Mile 811<\/p>\n

End Location GPS: 36.96839, -118.44097<\/p>\n

Tough day. We woke up to freezing condensation all over our tent and wet sleeping bags. My hands had pins and needles after rolling the tent to put it into its stuff sack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We started our ascent of Pichot Pass mid morning. Another pass at greater than 12k feet means obscured trail and snow traversals. There were a few fords where we took off our shoes to cross. During one crossing my strap in my backpack broke (an annoyance but it wasn\u2019t a critical one).<\/p>\n

Pichot was less sketchy than Glen, but there were still a lot of snowy ridge crossings. Carolyn was having a tough day. The scary river crossings, snow and climbing started to wear on her. The trail conditions and overall mood had me thinking of the CDT. It was tough and progress was slow.<\/p>\n

We eventually made it over Pichot and continued our descent, and mustered a measly 15 miles for the day. I\u2019m a bit concerned that at this pace we are going to run out of food before our resupply. We could get out at Bishop Pass but that is a 12 mile side trail- so I would like to avoid that. Hopefully the next passes are easier and progress will be faster, but something tells me not to hold my breath.\u00a0<\/p>\n
