I wouldn't so much say I rode it as bounced down it more or less the right way up if not the right way round!Ohh yes please PM the details ... and if you rode that OK then the Stella will be a piece of the proverbial as it is a lot smoother...just steeper
Im not precious about the bike.don't mind bumps and scratches would want to avoid major money spending damage but mostly need to avoid doing anything to myself.Am totally on my own see so may as well be dead as a busted leg or the like.
If I went,and I would love to,I guess I would go a few days before hand get a hotel somewhere near have a look at some passes then try to camp at the site,the refuge one looks fun,but try to leave most of my gear locked in a railway station locker or the like:)
