Myself and a close friend are planning on spending 4 days in the Sabrina Basin. We plan to base camp at Topsy Turvy or Moonlight lakes and explore the surrounding basins. There are a number of peaks that can be climbed from this vantage as well:

Mt Lamarck 13,417' class III ascent
Mt Haeckel 13,418' class III ascent
Mt Wallace 13,377' class II ascent
Mt Powell 13,364' Ice axe and crampons needed
Clyde Spires 12,955' class IV ascent

At this point we don't have any particular ambition, just to get out into the sierras and have a good time. Class III scrambling is the limit of our current skill but we'd be willing to learn from another more experienced in climbing. On the other hand, we'd also be glad to assist others with less experience in climbing(scrambling). If you're interesting let me know and we can share base camps.
