Debating Echo Pass. Looks like the smart move is to forgo this route. Have to consider the unknown weather. We would be camping up at hidden lake and have to go over the next day across class 3 snowfields and glaciers. Any rain at this time of the year would be snow and sleet. Today the temperature has been 45- 50 deg. Then Su's knees are a question. Jan also has a mild ankle sprain from Black Giant and doesn't like the idea any more. So off to Bishop Pass. The next photo is a telephoto of this photo showing a better view of Echo Pass.
