Thanks for the report! That is such a scenic area.

Good call. If you turned around on Fisher because of the exposure, you definitely would not have liked Arriva. Not only is it exposed in places, but it is also horrible, chossy hell.

Are those slippers?
Looks like a great trip.  Fun bear sightings. I always get a thrill the few times I've seen them.

Excellent!
There are peaks for the peakbaggers, but the lakes are the real destination. The gully going up is indeed very unpleasant and even a bit dangerous because big rocks move as you climb. My wife bailed and we camped in the basin and dayhiked up.
I suspect that in berry season you are pretty much guaranteed of seeing a bear. We were there for three days and could see at least one bear up on the slopes at all times.
Are bear cans mandatory now in NCNP? The Fisher Basin area, and I presume the lake basin as well, has zero options for hanging food bags. Back when we went in, there were no bear cans and we ended up just leaving our food in our packs to mitigate rodent damage. A bit unnerving when you can see a bear a quarter mile away, but there were no other options.

You are learning well. Here's a wish for a long, continued safe, and satisfying hiking/ climbing career.

Not sure about the whole of NCNP, but they definitely are in the Fisher Basin and Arriva cross country zone. They checked to make sure we had them before they issued our permit.
Ah, yes. I think I saw your TR on here actually. I don't think I could ever forget those ledge photos of you all hugging the wall
