Hello Vitaliy, Seems like The Chief would be a likley source and you two are good buds too, so "pm" him. I hiked one day with a guy named Doug Mantle who has hiked The Sierra probably more than anybody (he didn't tell me this, he was rather humble). I have since read in a few books of his hiking/climbing prowess. I would try to get a hold of him. I tried to but could not find a website of his. Maybe some SPer has some info on contacting him. His number of ascents in The Sierra is quite staggering, and many technical climbs as well, not just "peakbagging" the easy routes.
