We had a bit of snow to cover today and we wanted to do as much of it as we could before it started to soften.<\/p><p>We had stopped last night where the snow had started and were straight into it this morning in the dark, but it had firmed up as always. We were climbing towards Silver Pass and the ascent was nice and gradual. After some initial route finding and a creek crossing on a sketchy icy log, we headed uphill and reached an open snowy plain that was simple to navigate. Just had to keep walking up the valley to the end. There were some lakes along the way but they were buried and I almost ended up on one of them before I checked my GPS to see where it was.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a73c15d elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"a73c15d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"penci-image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div data-sliderid=\"50390\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_50390\"\n             class=\"penci-block-vc penci-image-gallery penci-image-gallery-s1 pencisc-grid-2 pencisc-grid-tablet-2 pencisc-grid-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"penci-block_content  pencisc-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-1\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PCT_20240531_060016-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PCT_20240531_060016-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-2\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PCT_20240531_061230-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PCT_20240531_061230-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c678099 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"c678099\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/j1sQZRBRpxM?si=-qbjiUPqPZNKT0OR&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"penci-section penci-disSticky penci-structure-10 elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1051378 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1051378\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-100 penci-ercol-order-1 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-072f67b\" data-id=\"072f67b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c73b99a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c73b99a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The pass itself was a walk-up.

I was exhausted from the lack of sleep or the number of days in the snowy high Sierra at high elevation. Some or all were factors. But there was nothing to do put push on. We would be in town tomorrow with a zero day to recuperate, so hopefully that would do some good.<\/p><p>I set a pace and did the climb that was thankfully snow free. Until we got to the top where our old nemesis awaited us \u2013 the snow was softening.<\/p><p>It was a slog to Virginia Lake with some steep snow slopes to navigate, but it went. The trail crosses between the lake and an adjacent bog, and it was deeper than I wanted to navigate and enough ice had melted that I was unwilling to attempt anything foolish. So I set out around the bog to avoid the whole situation. Others had done that as well. I did find a shortcut back to the trail on the other side though, cutting up a creek then cross-country over snow to a saddle. The off-route navigation picked me up a bit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f88aaae elementor-widget elementor-widget-penci-image-gallery\" data-id=\"f88aaae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"penci-image-gallery.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        <div data-sliderid=\"64369\" id=\"penci-image_gallery_64369\"\n             class=\"penci-block-vc penci-image-gallery penci-image-gallery-s1 pencisc-grid-2 pencisc-grid-tablet-2 pencisc-grid-mobile-1\">\n\t\t\t            <div class=\"penci-block_content  pencisc-grid\">\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-1\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PCT_20240531_094424-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PCT_20240531_094424-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t                <div class=\"penci-gallery-item penci-galitem-2\">\n                    <a  data-bgset=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PCT_20240531_095511-768x512.webp\" class=\"penci-lazy penci-gallery-ite penci-image-holder penci-image-landscape\"\n                       href=\"https:\/\/yetihikes.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/PCT_20240531_095511-1170x780.webp\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t                                                <i class=\"penciicon-expand\"><\/i>\n                    <\/a>\n                <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"penci-section penci-disSticky penci-structure-10 elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-070d57f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"070d57f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"penci-ercol-100 penci-ercol-order-1 penci-sticky-ct    elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6f4883c\" data-id=\"6f4883c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eda1c30 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eda1c30\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>There was then a snowy descent to Purple Lake.
