Hasn't voted | RJ Secor, in "The High Sierra," gives a distance of 9 1/4 miles and an elevation gain of 3,323' by trail from Big Pine Creek trailhead (7,677') parking lot to Sam Mack Meadow (11,000'). Checking out the area on Topozone, I can see the routes from the Meadow to Agassiz Col (13,100') climb 2,100' cross-country over 2 miles. The final stretch from the col to the summit (13,893') climbs 793' over 0.4 miles. Total: 6,216' net gain (with a tiny bit more gross) over 23 miles round-trip. | |

Hasn't voted | Hey Justin, thanks for the info. It really sounds pretty imressive the way you lay it out. I did it in two days making a base camp at the cut-off to Sam Mack (before Fourth Lake) | |
