Looking for GPS data for Brown's Peak alternate route
Posted: Mar 12 2003 8:14 pm
Hi Everyone,
After hiking up to Brown’s saddle a couple of times, we're gonna head for the summit this Spring. Reading the descriptions of those that went up the scree chute some in our group may not be comfortable going up that way. As a fallback position we may go up the "alternate route" as shown in:

Apparently there is no trail per se for the alternate route and several people bushwhacked their own.
I'd like to see if anyone has any GPS data they recorded while traversing the alternate route and would mind sharing it. The best possible format would a National Geographic TOPO .tpo or .tpg file containing the track. Second best would be a .tpo or .tpg with waypoints recorded on the alternate. Of course, plain text waypoints in any coordinate system would be great too. I can convert to UTM.
I only need the waypoints and/or track data from Brown’s Saddle [12 S 469416 3727608] to the summit.
Thanks in advance,
Bill
