Does anyone know if its possible to hike from Green Lake in the Washakie Wilderness to Emerold Lake on the other side of the ridge. I'm looking at a saddle between peaks 12,025 and 11,656. According to the guidebook its possible to do this scramble going east to west. But it looks steep and going west to east might be harder because you would be descending the hardest part of the route rather the ascending.
For background I'm planning to do this as part of a longer hiking/packrafting trip and I'd like to float part of the Greybull. That is way I need to go that particular direction. Any idea if this route is doable? If not are there any alternatives to hiking all the way down to the Double Cabin Trailhead.
