Looking for some advice
Planning to do this route in June, not worried abt experience or distance or anything but I am aware that the current direction I have this going (up tucks down great gulf) is def uncommon. I have some friends coming with me who haven’t hiked the whites but have done a lot in the ADK’s and other tough hiking w me so they’re fine, but they really wanna approach by tucks and still hit great gulf too. I’m cool with it but I know the descent of great gulf is sketchy. The views coming down would be awesome tho and taking our time would negate most of my concern but still, to those of u who have descended that giant headwall, any advice? People have mentioned route finding issues online, not worried abt that, again it’s just the loose rocks that concern me.
