Alpine Lakes recon TR.

[Bug]

I went looking for new places to climb this weekend. Started at the Trout Lake TH and went up past Copper lake, Heart, traversed the ridge along Big Heart and came down on Chetwood where I bivied. There wasn't anything that really grabbed me. But, the next day I went up and over Iron Cup and down into the top of the Necklace Valley. There is some nice granite up there boys and girls. It is a long way up there but it is high Quality. I thought I uploaded a pic but it isn't showing up. Anyway, the easiest way up would be to go up the Necklace Valley. That is an 8 mile slog with a lot of elevation gain in the last four miles. The granite is way up in the top too. Great meadows to camp in right below the base. Lots of three and four pitch stuff with a few five pitch routes. Lots of cracks. Bring a brush.
