Hey,
I am hiking the Chinese Wall loop starting and ending at benchmark trailhead going off trail and hiking the ridge of the wall from near Larch Hill Pass to Haystack Mountain at the end of August. Looking for thoughts, suggestions, recommendations, etc. Any thoughts on clockwise vs counterclockwise? Suggestions on where to camp near Larch Hill pass? I assume we are going counterclockwise and will stop at the start of the no camping zone at the end of day 2. Thoughts on where to leave the trail? I assume we would leave trail 112 around 6,600 feet. Water is a concern. The only reliable water source I see is the tarn near Cliff Mountain. Anything else? Tips on negotiating the off trail terrain? Thanks in advance, Brian
