It turns out that we were not the first to choose this particular point to begin the assault on Miter Basin. There was a fairly clear trail-of-use where Marshall is standing that lead all the way to the top. Beyond that, we were on our own.

| Day 3 was our "bonus credit" off-trail day.
After some debate and comparing notes with others we met on the trail
about the best way to get started, it was decided that we would attack the
left side of the wall behind Soldier Lake. Marshall picks his way up
the rock-strewn beginning of the climb. Beyond this hill lies Miter
Basin. Reports from others who have been there were positive on
scenic beauty but less clear about the climb out through Crabtree Pass at
the end of Miter Basin.
