DSCF0856.jpg2 viewsLake at 8700', just west of point 8817'. I ascend the wooded slopes north northwest of this lake, staying south of Profile Lake.

DSCF0903.JPG2 viewsHeading N toward the saddle overlooking Strawberry Basin. There always seem to be a few tents here. The view is nice, but there is no water. Not sure why anyone would camp here. Maybe hunters preparing for bow season.

DSCF0904.JPG2 viewsThe view across the Sawtooth Valley to Mt. Cramer. The smoke is staying out of sight to the N, fortunately!

DSCF0911.JPG2 viewsI don't think I've ever gone the same way twice. The descent seemed easier this trip, especially near Warm Springs Creek where I managed to avoid the worst of the fallen timber.

DSCF0915.JPG2 viewsThe pyramid shaped WCP-6 (10777') on the horizon (center). The terrain gets steep in places before leveling out just before Warm Springs Creek.

DSCF0921.JPG2 viewsI was glad I had taken enough water with me to spend the night as I failed to find the stream around the 8700' for the second year in a row. I'm not carrying a GPS or altimeter, which would make navigation easier, and my pack heavier. There is a lake at about 8900' E of Iron Basin. I have yet to climb up to it.
