Mile 802.7 to 812.6 – 9.9 miles total hiked on PCT<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, the climb up to Pinchot Pass was simple but long and seemed to never end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PINCHOT PASS 12,127 feet!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the main goal for the day complete, I then had to make my way down through the basin towards the next major pass: Mather Pass<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, the descent and the limb between these passes wasn\u2019t that bad. You could also almost see the entire route from one pass to the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I knew I could reach Mather in the same day, but wanted to get as far as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, instead of stopping at one of the picturesque lakes, I continued down into the forest and camped at roughly the halfway point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
