Got to Farmers, but...
Tried to do it in 3 days from Swift Creek trailhead with a group of first-timers. Got to Farmers Lake but the rest of the group didn't feel like continuing on the next day, so we totally aborted, hiked out, and thus a 3 day-er turned into a 2 day-er. Mosquitos were pretty bad, but the only weather we experienced was some light rain showers. On our would-be summit day it was cool and cloudy in the morning...perfect. Will do it next time, maybe solo.

Sunburnt nose
Came up and over from RedCastle I believe and went up Anderson Pass. I went solo and burnt the heck out of my nose. It was my first trip up at about 14 years old.
