TIL the Sierra High Route isn't just for elite hikers

I always thought the Sierra High Route was way above my skill level. Tough routefinding, off-trail sections, serious exposure. Last June I did a 4-day section near Bishop Pass anyway. Turns out half of it is just class 2 talus hopping. Not as scary as the blogs made it sound. I took it slow and used guidebook notes from Roper's book. Changed my mind completely. Has anyone else found a route that sounded harder than it actually was?

Roper's beta makes it sound way gnarlier than it actually is.

Got to agree with rowank69 there. Roper really knows how to paint a picture that makes you think twice. Glad you gave it a shot anyway, that's awesome.
