Your gain estimate of 1600' is misleading, as one will actually climb about 4000'(or more) on this route, due to the fact that you must traverse up and over Waterman, then drop down to Twin Peaks Saddle, then climb again, then return and traverse Waterman again. I would suggest noting that a day on this route requires over 4000' of gain, so someone is prepared with enough water etc. Thanks!
Yes, I should have put in a roundtrip total instead of just one way. I think my one way figure is accurate but obviously the return would involve the gain you mentioned as well. I will edit the page. Thanks for the input.
