Idaho Exposure

I still need water for the ascent to the saddle between D. O. Lee Peak and WCP-9. Last year I was able to get water out of the stream flowing into Ocalkens Lake by crossing the meadow on the right, intersecting the stream well above the lake. This year I had to descend all the way to the lake. The climb from the lake is east of Bighorn Basin, and although steeper, the trees provide welcome shade most of the way up.
