Me and my roommate attempted this yesterday, 8/23/20. The hike to the lake is pretty easy though more tree coverage would be appreciated. After the lake though, there’s not exactly a boot trail, there’s some bush wacking and intermittent class 2 scrambling to get around to the other side. It is much more physical than this post describes and I suspect that could be from erosion and possibly an avalanche or two since this was posted. Once you get to the other side of the lake the post is accurate. This is a two day hike unless you’re in incredible shape. I’ll return in two weeks to send it as an overnight trip.

Re: Outdated Post, BewareHi there! Can you let me know which lake you are referring to? Was it hard to get around Shelf Lake? Thanks!
