burn areaMost route descriptions say something about cairns on 45 Mile Sheep Driveway Trail/#1432 between Snow Brushy Creek Trail/#1230 and Borealis Pass. The area was burned a few years ago (2006 maybe?) and I saw no cairns on that section of the trail except for one marking the intersection of 1432 and 1230, and then starting at about 6800 ft (in the meadows near Borealis Pass, above the burn area). Might be worth mentioning on the approach/route for Pinnacle.

Re: burn areaI was just up there also and agree...
I saw one cairn at the intersection where the "trail" to Borealis Pass leaves the Snow Brushy Creek trail to Milham Pass and after that all evidence of the trail is gone. Instead of going up to Borealis Pass, I ascended scree up the basin to the ridge. This works fine and is easy going.
Coming down the west side via Aurora Creek is the same story. An overabundance of cairns, but no trail! It is especially difficult in the dark. Lots of dead branches & trees to crawl over.
