I find what I recall from the first time I did this loop; water.  It is located in a fairly flat section immediately above the initial steep-walled gorge. I stop and pump enough water to mix a hydration drink.  It's worth getting enough water here for the night, in the event you fail to find the creek near the 8700' level in the basin above.
