I tried to cross over the high ridge above Sharp Note Lake(top photo). It looked doable, and without a heavy, bulky pack and a few tricky moves, I could have done it, but since I’m traveling solo, I wisely chose to walk the ridge line down to a safer route(bottom photo).

Sharp Note Lake 11,000 ft. My original route proved to be too steep, especially with a 60 pound pack on my back, so I followed the ridge down about an hour to a safer descent. John Muir Wilderness, Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, USA. Photo by Van Miller
