If your camping out take a light bag and layer up on clothes at night. Easy to strip down if too warm, split the load of camp between two of you, even better is to just use a bivy and don't worry about the tent. The hike has one real nasty stretch that I honestly will probably never do again with a backpack on (I've done it twice). As said above it isn't for the faint of heart, but ignorance is bliss when you go the first time. As it seems that the lake is always "just over the next hill" lol. Give yourselves lots of time for the trip up and you will enjoy it. Take lots of pics!
