If you want to do one of the passes, Ophir is the easiest, then Imogene, then

Is black bear difficult or just scary? Is it just making the switchbacks thats

It’s not overly difficult until you get near the steps and switchbacks

NarfUte

Sep 17, 6:19pm

Yeah I can see those switchbacks being terrifying. I’m hoping to join a trip

Black bear is scary unless you're pretty experienced
